I Do
The Moments Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please give me peace of mind
Ooh, ooh, say you'll be mine
Come rain or shine

And when I kiss you
Just say I do now
Oh, just I do-do-do
Love you, oh, baby

You're as sweet as old cherry wine
Ooh, ooh, like an angel
Oh, baby, you're so fine

Say you'll be with me
My whole life through now
Oh, just say I do-do-do
Love you, oh, bab&121

There are many ways of saying I love you (I love you)
But any word from you is good enough for me
Too many hearts now has been bleeding
And if mine is one, if mine is one
It wants to be, it wants to be, oh, baby, oh, baby

Each night of my dream
Ooh, ooh, I'm a king
My darling, you're my queen

And when I awake
Please make my dream come true
Oh, just say now
I do-do-do
Love you

I do-do-do
Love you
I do-do-do
Love you





I do-do-do
Love you

on I Don't Want To Go

Lately I been Known
For making up excuses
And all too many times
Wondering what the use is now
Nothing like it used to be
When you and me
Were all I ever dreamed of

Dreams just don't come true
Just the way you planned them
And looking back in time
I still don't understand just how
The feeling comes and goes
And before I start to lie
I want you to know

[Chorus]
I Don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
Cause it just ain't like before
I don't want you to love me
And ohh how I wish I
Loved you like I did
Honey you know I did

Did we turn away
Just when we saw it coming
And could we have been saved
Or would we still
Be running scared
The space became so wide
That no matter how I tried
There was just no place to hide

Ohh Baby

[Chorus]
I Don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
Cause it just ain't like before
I don't want you to love me
And ohh how I wish I
Loved you like I did
Honey you know I did

Repeat 2x
[Chorus]
I Don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like before
I don't want you to love me
And ohh how I wish I
Loved you like I did
Honey you know I did

I Don't wanna go
But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like before

I Just
(But I can't stay here no more
I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like before
I don't want you to love me)
I Just
(I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like before)

I don't wanna go
But it just ain't like
Just like before
