The minute I met you I said give me some time I'll have you laughin' and fallin' in love Till you tell the whole world that you're mine I know it don't make sense That a girl like you With all of your beautiful, all of your wonder Would ever end up with a hard-headed fool Girl I told you That I'll love you forever And I'll hold you In my arms, and I'll never let go I'll be standin' there girl when you need me Every mornin' you'll wake up and see I do what I say and I say what I mean One day we'll look back and girl I will say That I told you, yeah I said our shadow Would look good on my wall I said your clothes would look better girl If they were scattered all up and down my hall And it took a lot of tryin' (a whole lot of tryin') To steal away your heart But I told you that girl I will never give up If I've got to I'd steal you the stars Girl I told you That I'll love you forever And I'll hold you In my arms, and I'll never let go I'll be standin' there girl when you need me Every mornin' you'll wake up and see I do what I say and I say what I mean One day we'll look back and girl I will say That I told you, yeah I think you know when we get to heaven Walk down streets of gold We'll still be singin' and dancin' and lovin' It's gonna be your hand that I hold Girl I told you (yeah girl I told you) That I'll love you forever And I'll hold you (yeah girl I'll hold you) In my arms, and I'll never let go I'll be standin' there girl when you need me Every mornin' you'll wake up and see I do what I say and I say what I mean One day we'll look back and girl I will say That I told you Yeah girl I told you (yeah girl I told you) Girl I told you, yeah girl I told you Yeah, oh-oh-oh
