Lyrics:

a.  I'm telling you now, I'm telling you right away, I'll be saying for many a day, I'm in love with you now.

b.  I'm telling you now, I'll say what you want to hear, I'll be telling you for many a year, I'm in love with you now.

c.  Do you think I'm foolin' when I say I love you, (I love you). Maybe you'll believe me when I'm finally through . . . .

d.  I'm telling you now, I know its been said before, Say you love me and I will be sure, I'm in love with you now.
