Shoop, Shoop
When you say you love me,
Do you speak the truth?
In what way shall I tell?
Does my answer lie within your eyes?
Do you love me well?
Is a kiss the standard
To judge love by,
To reveal the answer I seek?
The warmth of lips, a fiery tongue—
Are these where truth will speak?
Others say love
Lies in embrace
That faithless arms betray.
Others believe it resides in speech,
And false words give false lovers away.
But I think that time's
the truest test,
The one sure way to tell;
Lies loom large but live not long
So tell me...
Do you love me well?
