Veronica:
Ooooo-ooooh
He thinks I'm afraid
He oughta know I'm not
Why should I be scared?
I'm safe and sound because I got love
I got love
I got love
I got love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love!
I got love
I got love
Sweeter than a flower, growin' by the hour
'Cause I got love!
Sunshine shine
I got mine, yeah
Carve it on a willow
Talkin' to my pillow 'cause I got love
Every time I'm with him
I know I'm a lucky girl
For the first time in my life
I'm someone in this world
Bye bye blues
Said I can't lose
I've got a jar of honey
And every day is sunny 'cause I got love!
I got love
I got love
Sweeter than a flower, growin' by the hour
'Cause I got love!
Every time I'm with him
I know that I'm a lucky girl
For the first time in my life
I'm someone in this world
Bye bye blues, yeah
I can't lose, no, no, no more
Got a jar of honey
'Cause every day is sunny 'cause I got love!
I got love!
I got love!
I got love, love, love, love!
I got love!
