Lyrics
I'm a-gonna tell you how it's gonna be A-you gonna give a-you're love to me I wanna love you night 'n day You know my lovin' not fade away Oh well you know my lovin' not fade away

My lovin' bigger than a Cadillac I try to show it and you drive a-me back You're lovin' me has got to be real A-for you to know a-just how I feel A love for real and not fade away

I'm a-gonna tell you how it's gonna be A-you gonna give a-you're love to me A love to last a-more than one day A love that's love and not fade away Yes, a love that's love and not fade away
