Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kind I'd like to meet
You at midnight
And tell no one else about it.
I'm going to make you mine
'Cause I know we've got the time
Now and then, baby.
[Chorus:]
I want to marry you.
Isn't that what you want, too?
I want to marry you.
Isn't that what you want, too?
Come on in the back of the '57.
Let me show you the way, the way to heaven.
You're looking so sweet, yes you are.
I'm sure that you've got some heat.
I've got you on my mind
You know you've got my time
Now and then, baby.
Hey, I want you to know,
[Chorus]
I'm falling in love with you.
You make all my dreams come true.
I'm falling in love with you.
[Chorus: x2]
