Lyrics:
I wanna go where you go,
Do what you do,
Love when you love,
Then I'll be happy!
I wanna sigh when you sigh,
Cry when you cry,
Smile when you smile,
Then I'll be happy!
You can go north or south,
You can go east or west,
I'll follow you, seetheart,
And share your little love nest.
I wanna go where you go,
Do what you do,
Love when you love,
Then I'll be happy!
I wanna go where you go,
Do what you do,
Love when you love,
Then I'll be happy!
I wanna sigh when you sigh,
Cry when you cry,
Smile when you smile,
Then I'll be happy!
You can go north or south,
You can go east or west,
I'll follow you, seetheart,
And share your little love nest.
I wanna go where you go,
Do what you do,
Love when you love,
Then I'll be happy!
I wanna go where you go,
Do what you do,
Love when you love,
Then I'll be happy!
I wanna sigh when you sigh,
Cry when you cry,
Smile when you smile,
Then I'll be happy!
You can go north or south,
You can go east or west,
I'll follow you, seetheart,
And share your little love nest.
I wanna go where you go,
Do what you do,
Love when you love,
Then I'll be happy!
I wanna go where you go,
Do what you do,
Love when you love,
Then I'll be happy!
I wanna sigh when you sigh,
Cry when you cry,
Smile when you smile,
Then I'll be happy!
You can go north or south,
You can go east or west,
I'll follow you, seetheart,
And share your little love nest.
I wanna go where you go,
Do what you do,
Love when you love,
Then I'll be happy!
I'll be happy with you,
We'll make sadness taboo,
And when you're always in view
I'll be happy!
