Could you, a-would you
Um, hold me in your arms
A-show me all your charms
Or make me sad, or make-a me blue?

Could you love me
Like I love you
Like I love you?

Could you, a-would you
Um, a-squeeze, a-hold me tight
A-love me all through the night
And never ever let me go?

Could you love me
Like I love you so
Like I love you so?

Every time I see you walkin' down my avenue
I say, "Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, are you all right?"
And you say, "How do ya do?"
Just like ya always do
And if I had ya in my arms tonight

Could you, a-would you
Um, hold, hold me oh-so near
While I whisper in your ear
The sweet words you long to hear?

Could you love me
Like I love you
Like I love you?
Oh

Could you, a-would you
Um, ho-old me oh-so near
While I whisper in your ear
The sweet words you long to hear?

Could you love me
Like I love you
Like I love you?

Jus-jus-jus-just, just like I love you
Just, just, just like I love you, baby
Just, just, just like I love you
