Lyrics
If I say I love you, do you mind?
Make an idol of you, do you mind?
If I shower you with kisses
If I tell you honey this is how I think of heaven
Do you mind?
I wanna whisper, whisper sweet nothings in your ear
Nothings that are meant for my love alone to hear
Oh so then
If I say I love you, do you mind?
Make an idol of you, do you mind?
If I shower you with kisses
If I tell you honey this is how I think of heaven
Do you mind?
I wanna whisper, whisper sweet nothings in your ear
Nothings that are meant for my love alone to hear
Oh so then
If I say I love you, do you mind?
Make an idol of you, do you mind?
If I shower you with kisses
If I tell you honey this is how I think of heaven
Do you mind?
Do you mind?
Do you mind?
How I think of heaven
Do you mind?
