Lyrics:
“She Told Me So”
Just being lose to me makes her love grow
Each night she thanks God for the day she found me
Why, when she came home this morning, she told me soAnd there’s roses blooming in the Arctic Circle
Icebergs in the Gulf of Mexico
And there’s not one star in Heaven
Or a sunrise anymore
I’d believe it if she told me so
I know people say she has a lover
Referring to this guy she’s come to know
Well, they’re just friends, she loves him like a brother
And she’s never even kissed him, she told me so
And there’s roses blooming in the Arctic Circle
Icebergs in the Gulf of Mexico
And there’s not one star in Heaven
And 8 don’t follow 7
I’d believe it if she told me so
