I didn't even know your name.

When I first met you baby,

I didn't even know your name.

Oh, I was feelin' low on the ground.

I never realized, people,

how sweet and kind a woman can be.

Oh, but when I looked in your eyes,

I knew [bad word] love [bad word] to me.

Take my hand,

hold it tight and don't let go.

Take my hand, take my hand,

hold it tight and don't let go.

'Cause our love is like a merry-go-round,

forever and ever round it goes.
