Sure Hope You Mean It
[Chorus]
Sure hope you mean it (Sure hope you mean it, baby baby)
Sure hope you love me, girl
(Sure hope you love me like you say you do)
Sure hope you mean it (Oh)
Sure hope you love me, girl

[Verse 1]
Do you mean what you say when you say that you love me?
With all honesty, I think I love you
It's every day I think about how special it could be
And how your love is everything to me
In my mind i can see no one but you
Like in my dreams I know I'm holding you
So now tell me truth 'cause I need to know
See, I wanna take control, but you gotta let me know
Don't fool me, baby

[Chorus]
Sure hope you mean it (Sure hope you mean it, girl, sure do)
Sure hope you love me, girl (Don't fool me, baby baby)
Sure hope you mean it (Sure hope you mean it, girl)
Sure hope you love me, girl

I go uh-uh uh-uh, yeah yeah
I go uh-uh uh-uh, yeah yeah
[Verse 2]
There's been aces among spades
All your love I could never trade
There's something about you
That shakes away my pain
See, this heart of mine just can't be without you
'Cause being without you I could never be (and don't wanna be)
It's so hard to find a love so true
But if you mean what you say, I love you (I love you)
Now, don't fool me, darling
Tell me it's real
I only wanna love you and have a couple kids
Don't fool me, baby

[Chorus]
Sure hope you mean it (Sure hope you mean it now)
Sure hope you love me, girl
(Sure hope you love me like you say you do)
Sure hope you mean it (Sure hope you mean it, girl)
Sure hope you love me, girl

[Bridge]
See, I wanna call you sometimes
Tell you you're the best
That without your precious love
For sure I could never rest
[Chorus]
Sure hope you mean it (Don't fool me)
Sure hope you love me, girl
(Sure hope you love me, baby, like you say you do)
Sure hope you mean it (Sure hope you mean it)
Sure hope you love me, girl
(I swear I'll take care of ya, baby)

Sure hope you mean it
(I'll do everything you want me to do, yes I will)
Sure hope you love me, girl
(Sure hope you care for me, baby)
Sure hope you mean it
('Cause I'm sure telling everybody how much I care for you)
Sure hope you love me, girl
(And you know I need you, need you, baby, by my side)

Sure hope you mean it
(With you, I can keep all my selfish pride)
Sure hope you love me, girl
(See, I love your heart and soul, yes I do, girl)
Sure hope you mean it
(And I hope you love me as much as I love you)
Sure hope you love me, girl
(Oh, don't make a fool out of me, baby baby, no)
Sure hope you mean it (Sure hope you mean it, darling, sure do)
Sure hope you love me, girl...
