I had a lover
Who did not love me back
I did everything that a guy could do
I couldn´t do more than that
I felt so helpless

I thought things would never change
Then I saw my girl
walking down on the avenue one day
I said, "I wanna talk to you"

I wasn´t afraid to cry
Emotion was in my eyes
She took me on a natural high
When I said, "I love you girl of mine"
And then she said, "I love you back"
She loves me back

I had a lover
Who did not love me back
I bought her candy canes and dolls and flowers
And I took her to Coney Island
Now, who could do more than that?
It was a problem

Until on that fateful day
I saw my girl walking down on the avenue
She said, "I wanna talk to you"

She wasn´t afraid to cry
Emotion was in her eyes
She took me on a natural high
I said, "I love you girl of mine"
And then she said, "I love you back"
She loves me back

I don´t think our love´s gonna lose
There ain´t no way
I´m taking my time to convince her
That love´s here to stay, hey
Love is here to stay because
She loves me back

We weren´t afraid to cry
Emotion was in our eyes
She took me on a natural high
I said, "I love you girl of mine"
And then she said, "I love you back"
She loves me back
