Do I Love You
Frank Wilson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here I am on bended knees
I lay my heart down at your feet
Now do I love you

All you have to do is ask
I'll give until there's nothing left
Do I love you
As long as there is life in me
Your happiness is guaranteed
I'll fill your heart with ecstasy, forever darling

Do I love you?
Do I love you?
Do I love you?
Indeed I do indeed I do

The very thing that I want most
Is just to have and hold you close
Do I love you?

From early morning until late at night
You fill my heart with pure delight
Do I love you?

Whenever I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord your soul to keep
And bring you on home safe to me, forever darling

Do I love you?
Do I love you?
Do I love you?

Indeed I do, sweet darling, indeed I do
Now whenever I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord your soul to keep
And bring you on home safe to me, forever darling

Do I love you?
Do I love you?
Do I love you?
Indeed I do, my darling, indeed I do
Sweet sweet darling, indeed I do
You know I love you girl
Indeed I do





You know I need you darling, indeed I do

I grew up in Washington, DC in the sixties and the Motown sound was the soundtrack of my life. But this song never got any airplay to my recollection. I only became familiar with Frank Wilson because of his later work with Eddie Kendricks of the Temptations.
I must say that reading the comments about this song, it's meaning to folks and the Northern Soul nation has really touched me. The sincere and heartfelt emotions expressed by people has reminded me of the universal power that music has on all of us beyond just the notes and chord progressions..I now wish I could have crossed the pond and experienced the NS scene in person !!!.
In the words of the group Kool & the Gang:

" Music is the message that sings
Universal love for one and all
A message for all seasons
Winter, summer, spring and fall....

There's a message in the music
That will bring you peace of mind
So peace be with you, people
In these troubled times.. "

May God Bless you all and may Frank Wilson R.I.P. πŸ™πŸΌπŸŽΌπŸ™πŸΌ

It's just impossible not to dance to this classic. A great fave of Paul O' Grady apparently - he made people feel happy, as does virtually any Northern Soul music. Long live Northern Soul! Keep The Faith 😊

@dolphinteamdevelopment5525

And big love to Paul O'Grady. Gone way too soon. Such a sad moment.

I've been dancing round the block for 40 minutes every night to this during lockdown. It brings me so much joy in truly horrible times. I've also built a following of neighbours dancing from their living rooms (mainly kids). Do I love this song? Indeed I do! XXX

@markbishoprick8526

Great song!!!
