Lyrics
Would you do that for me?
I would walk a thousand miles to see you
Would you for me?
I would scale every mountain to be near you
Would you for me?
I would cross every ocean and carry any heavy load
In would endure every storm and winter's bitter cold
Would you do that for me?
Would you do that for me?
I would protect you from any danger
Would you do that for me?
I would stay cool while facing your anger
Would you do that for me?
I would give pledge my soul and give you my heart
I would make sure we were never very far apart
Would you do that for me?
Would you do that for me?
They say love is a ha-rd game
Finding someone who loves you that feels the same
I know it seems I'm making unfair demands
I just want you to understand
I will meet all your expectations
Would you do that for me?
I would never hold back my affections
Would you do that for me?
I would make my whole life about loving you
I will support everything that you want to do
Would you do that for me?
Would you do that for me?
I will forgive you any transgression
Would you do that for me?
I will give you all my worldly possessions
Would you do that for me?
I know life ain't like no fairy tale book
But I will work at having that be the way it looks
Would you do that for me?
Would you do that for me?
