(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)

Please say you want me to (to be your love)
I have always wanted you (to be my love)
When there's stars up in the sky (you realize)
Then you will realize (that you belong to me)

(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)

I have cried so much for you (for you, my dear)
I have almost died for you (for you, my dear)
I hope you do decide (to be my love)
Then you will realize (that you belong to me)

Please say that you love me
Oh-oooooooooh, please be mine
Please say that you care for me
Then I'll stop this crying over you

(Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)

Please say you want me to (to be your love)
I have always wanted you (to be my love)
When there's stars up in the sky (you realize)
Then you will realize (that you belong to me)

THE CLEFTONES sang a different last verse:

I have always wanted you (to be my love)
I have cried so much for you (to be my love)
I hope you do decide (that you belong)
To me (Do-o-o-o-o-o-o-o)
