Check Yes or No Lyrics

It started way back in third grade
I used to sit beside Emmylou Hayes
A pink dress, a matching bow and her pony tail
She kissed me on the schoolbus,
But told me not to tell
Next day I chased her round the playground
Across the monkey bars,
To the merry go round And Emmylou got caught
Passing me a note
Before the teacher took it, I read what she wrote

"Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?

And if you do
Well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand

If you want to

I think this is just how love goes,
Check yes or no "

Now we're grown up and she's my wife
Still like two kids with stars in our eyes
Ain't much changed, I still chase Emmylou
Up and down the hall,
Around the bed in our room
Last night I took her out in white limousine
Twenty years together, she
Still gets to me
Can't believe it's been that long ago
When we got started with just a little note
