Is she the one i love ? (all right) Is she the one i love ? She'll send me flowers With her tears bored inside And you know what i'd do I would run and hide I would run and hide And the paper On it was my name With the question Do you feel the same ? Do you feel the same ? To end this tale I wish i have an answer (but i don't know) Is this really love ? The one i'm speaking of Is this really love ? Is this really love ?
