I’m in love with you
Pat Boone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, baby, baby, dear
Tell me those are
Wedding bells you hear
Give me the word that it's okay
And I'll get that preacher right away

Because I, I'm in love with you
Do do do do...
I, I'm in love with you
Do do do do...

Well, they say that love is a funny thing
It makes you want to laugh and sing
I just couldn't believe that it was true
Until the day that I met you

Because I love you so
I never want to let you go
Because, baby, baby
I'm in love with you

Oh, yeah

Baby, baby, baby, dear
Tell me those are
Wedding bells you hear
Give me the word that it's okay
And I'll get that preacher right away

Because I, I'm in love with you
Do do do do...
I, I'm in love with you
Do do do do...

Well, they say that love is a funny thing
It makes you want to laugh and sing
I just couldn't believe that it was true
Until the day that I met you

Because I love you so
I never want to let you go
Because, baby, baby
I'm in love with you

I, I'm in love with you
Do do do do...
I, I'm in love with you




Do do do do...
I, I'm in love with you
