Well, she's been there right beside me
Through the ups and downs and all the in betweens
No, I couldn't live without her
But I've never let her see that side of me

Well, I finally bought that diamond
I found the right timin'
With a breakin' voice I fell down on my knees

And she said, 'Hey boy, I thought you'd never ask
I've been lovin' on you since a long, long time ago
And I can't believe you held out on me, lettin' all this time slip past'
And she said, 'Yes and I thought you'd never ask'

Well we both started crying
As we saw our future comin' into view
We saw a home and a family and all the things
That come with love that's true

And as we stood there shakin'
Talkin' about the life we'd be makin'
She took my hand
And looked me in the eyes

And she said, 'Hey boy, I thought you'd never ask
I've been lovin' on you since a long, long time ago
And I can't believe you held out on me, lettin' all this time slip past'
And she said, 'Yes and I thought you'd never ask'

She said, 'I wondered if I'd see the day
When you'd finally give your heart away
And we wind up in this perfect place'

And she said, 'Hey boy, I thought you'd never ask
You know I've been lovin' on you since a long, long time ago
And I can't believe you held out on my, lettin' all this time slip past'
And she said, 'Yes and I thought you'd never ask'

And she said, 'Yes, and I thought you'd never
Boy, I thought you'd never ask'
