Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gave me your love and now i've lost my-sanity,
Can't think straight now,i've lost my mind-my mind,
Believe me now honey,you're just one of a kind.
[Chorus]
You know that i love you, you know so well,
You know that i love you, oh can't you tell,
Oh won't you tell me honey you'll be mine.
You can't change the lord done made you that way,
I am laying no blame,that's how i want you to stay,
Ain't my luck to find a woman so fine-so fine,
Luck has changed thrown a seven this time.
You know that i love you,you know so well,
You know that i love you,oh can't you tell.
