Lyrics
Do I want you?
Oh my! Do I!
Honey, deed I do!
Do I need you?
Oh my! Do I!
Honey, deed I do!
I'm glad that I'm the one who found you,
That's why I'm always hangin' around you . . .
Do I love you?
Oh my! Do I!
Honey, deed I do!
Honey, deed I do!
Hmm! Honey, deed I do!
I'm glad that I'm the one who found you,
That's why I'm always hangin' around you . . .
Oh! Do I love you?
Oh my! Do I!
Honey, deed I do!
Ah Deed I Do!
