My girl in need

Oh, I, I can understand it

Jack and Jill going up the hill (I can understand it, baby)
Storybooks and fairytales (I can understand it)

And if our love gets to be anything but this
If someone gets to feel your warm and tender kiss
Oh, tell me, baby, how will I ever understand it, baby?

But I get upset when you stay too long
