Some people say that love is a prison You're locked up whenever you're in it Well, I don't buy it And anyway, if being locked just meant waking up next to you every day Well, I wouldn't mind it In a world of nightmares, you are sweet, sweet dreams Just about the prettiest thing that I've ever seen I've been waiting so long for a girl like you to come by Tell me, baby, will you be mine for twenty-five to life? If I was accused of digging you Loving every little thing you do Well, I couldn't deny it And if they wanted to sentence me to a lifetime of loving you tenderly Well, I'd be delighted In a lifelong winter time, you're the first day of spring Just about the prettiest thing that I've ever seen I've been waiting so long for a girl like you to come by Tell me, baby, will you be mine? Tell me, baby, will you be mine? Oh girl, won't you tell me you be mine for twenty-five to life? Twenty-five to life
