Lyrics
To know, know, know him
Is to love, love, love him
Just to see him smile
Makes my life worthwhile
To know, know, know him
Is to love, love, love him
And I do
Oo-oo, I do
I’d be good to him
I’d bring love to him
Everyone says there’ll come a day
When I’ll walk alongside of him
Yes, yes, to know him
Is to love, love, love him
And I do
Oo-oo, I do
Why can’t he see?
How blind can he be?
Someday he will see
That he was meant for me
Oh-oh, yes
To know, know, know him
Is to love, love, love him
Just to see him smile
Makes my life worthwhile
To know, know, know him
Is to love, love, love him
And I do
Oo-oo, yes, I do
Oo-oo, yes, I do
