Well I walked up to her and I asked her if she wanted to dance

And all the stars were shining bright and then I kissed her

Each time I saw her I couldn’t wait to see her again

I didn’t know just what to do and so I whispered I love you

And she said that she loved me too and then I kissed her

And then I kissed her and then I kissed her
