Ooo ooo ooo yeah La la la, la la la la la la la (x2)
A girl I wanted all my life I asked her to be my wife She said yes (she said yes) I didn't have money for a wedding band Still she went & took my hand She said yes (she said yes) La la la, la la la la la la la (x2)
Her folks had some other plan For her to marry another man She said no (she said no, she said no) They didn't particularly care for me But our love was meant to be 'Cause she said yes (she said yes, she said yes) La la la, la la la la la la la (x2) Ooo yeah
(instrumental)
Listen, I'm thankful for love I've found Thank you for changin' my life around Thank you for the love you gave me day by day, oh
Other love has come & gone But our love seems to linger on 'Cause she said yes, oh yes she did (she said yes) While other loves have faded away Our love grows stronger day by day 'Cause she said yes (she said yes) La la la, la la la la la la la
