Song Description

A very soulful vocal lead and wonderfully rich background harmonies mark this old school R&B love ballad as an absolute must listen to. The words convey the story of a guy trying his best to convince the girl of his heart that he really, really loves her. Oh, yes he does! Convincing the doubtful sweetheart is not easy because she has "friends" telling her not to trust him, that his love is not for real. The artfully done video along with the outstanding vocal performance of our special guest artist is sure to carry you away on an delightfully sweet soul getaway. Listen to the 45 RPM digitally remastered (NOTE: the original 45 vinyl used had 2 scratches at the beginning of the recording which show up in the digital remastering).

Lyrics

Oh, Yes I Do


So you have doubts about my love, the love that I gave to you
You're so confused and you think you're being used, baby
Don't you see what our love could be, oh baby
So your friends tell you that I've been untrue, then friends you have a few
Don't walk around wearing a frown, darling
They don't feel my love's so real, oh darling

Chorus
Cause, should you come to me, girl, I will make you see, girl
How my heart feels for you
Oh, I really, really love you, baby
Oh, yes I do, oh, yes I do
I really, really need you, baby
Oh, yes I, do, yes I, yes I do

I know you think that I'm just an average flirt, the way I approached you that day
My heart's not cold, but it's made of gold, girl it's precious
My heart's not stone and it's yours alone, girl it's precious
Your very smile gave me so much desire each time you passed my way
I got to kiss you and I don't intend to miss you, honey
If your love's all mine I would be alright, oh honey

Chorus
Cause, should you come to me, girl, I will make you see, girl
How my heart feels for you
Oh, I really, really love you, baby
Oh, yes I do, oh, yes I do
I really, really need you, baby
Oh, yes I, do, yes I, yes I do

I know you think that all the things that I do
I'm only doing for someone other than you
How can I make you see I'm yours all yours
I've got to find some kind of way

Chorus
Cause, should you come to me, girl, I will make you see, girl
How my heart feels for you
Oh, I really, really love you, baby
Oh, yes I do, oh, yes I do
I really, really need you, baby
Oh, yes I, do, yes I, yes I do
