Well she's been ther right beside me
Through the ups and downs and all the in-betweens
No I couldn't live without her
But I've never let her see that side of me

Well I finally bought that diamond
I found the right timin' with a breakin' voice
I fell down on my knees

And she said, "Hey boy I thought you'd never ask
I've been lovin' on you since a long, long time ago
And I can't believe you held out on my, letting all this time slip past"
And she said, "yes and I thought you'd never ask."

Well we both started crying as we saw our future coming into view
We saw a home and a family and all the things that come with love that's true
And as we stood there shaking talking about the life we'd be making
She took my hand and looking in the eyes

And she said, "Hey boy I thought you'd never ask
I've been lovin' on you since a long, long time ago
And I can't believe you held out on my, letting all this time slip past"
And she said, "yes and I thought you'd never ask."

She said, "I wondered if I'd see the day
When you'd finally give your heart away
And we wind up in this perfect place"

And she said, "Hey boy I thought you'd never ask
I've been lovin' on you since a long, long time ago
And I can't believe you held out on my, letting all this time slip past"
And she said, "yes and I thought you'd never ask."

And she said, " yes, and I thought you'd never
Boy I thought you'd never ask."
