I wanna tell you how it's gonna be, you're gonna give your love to me. I'm gonna love you night and day, love is love and not fade away. Well love is love and not fade away	a
And my love is bigger than a Cadillac, I'll try to show it if you drive me back. Your love for me has got to be real, before you'd have noticed how I feel. Love real not fade away, well love real not fade away.	b
I wanna tell you how it's gonna be, you're gonna give your love to me. Love that lasts more than one day, well love is love and not fade away.	a'
