Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I'm wondering if your love's still strong
Oo, baby, here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!
Then that time I went and said goodbye
Now I'm back and not ashamed to cry
Oo, baby, here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
(You got my future in your hands)
Here I am baby
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
(You got my future in your hands)
I've done a lot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean, didn't I?
Seen a lot of things in this old world
When I touch them, they mean nothing, girl
Oo, baby, here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours!
Oowee baby, you set my soul on fire
That's why I know you're my heart's only desire
Here I am baby
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
(You got my future in your hands)
Here I am baby
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
(You got my future in your hands)
