A letra:

To know, know, know him is to love, love, love him
Just to see him smile, makes my life worthwhile
To know, know, know him is to love, love, love him
And I do (and I do, and I, and I do, and I, and I do, and I, and I do, and I)

I'd be good to him, I'd bring love to him
Everyone says there'll come a day when I'll walk alongside of him
Yes, just to know him is to love, love, love him
And I do (and I do, and I, and I do, and I, and I do, and I, and I do, and I)

Why can't he see how blind can he be?
Someday he will see that he was meant for me, oh oh, yes

To know, know, know him is to love, love, love him
Just to see him smile, makes my life worthwhile
To know, know, know him is to love, love, love him
And I do, yes I do, yes I do (and I do, and I, and I do, and I, and I do, and I, and I do, and I)
