It’s the answer to everything, if you do.

Don’t give me a million excuses,
When I am waiting with my arms open wide.
If you love me, really love me, as I love you,
It’s the answer to everything, if you do.

If there is someone else,
Some other place,
Who holds your heart,
Please tell me now, truthfully.
Before we start.

Don’t act, like you misunderstand me
When there is simply no mystery to it all.
If you love me, really love me, as I love you.
It’s the answer to everything, if you do.
If you love me, really love me, as I love you.
It’s the answer to everything, if you do.
