I Do
Lyrics:
[English]
♪♪♪
it's always been about me, myself and i thought
relationships were nothin but a waste of time
i never wanted to be any body's other half
i was happy stayin out of love that wouldn't last
that was the only way i knew, til i met you
you make me wanna say i do, i do, i do do do do do do do do
yea i do, i do, i do do do do do do do do
cause every time before its been like, maybe yes, maybe no
i could live with out it, i could let it go
oooo what did i get my self in to
you make me wanna say i do i do i do i do i do i do
tell me is it only me, do you feel the same
you know me well enough to know that i'm not playin games
i promise i won't turn around and i won't let you down
you can trust i've never felt it like i feel it now
baby there's nothin, there's nothin we can't get through
so can we say i do, i do,
i do do do do do do do do
oh baby i do, i do, i do do do do do do do do
cause every time before its been like, maybe yes, maybe no
i won't live with out it, i won't let it go
what more can i get my self into you make me wanna say
meet my family how's your family
ooooo can we be a family
and when i'm 80 years old i'm sittin next to you...
and we'll remember when we said
i do, i do, i do do do do do do do do
oh baby i do, i do, i do do do do do do do i do
cause every time before its been like, maybe yes, maybe no
no i won't live with out it, i won't let us go
just look at what we got our selves in to
you make me say i do i do i do i do i do i do
i do love you.
