I don't want to hear it, No more fussin' and fightin' baby, Hold me tight. Let's let bygones be bygones, Let's think about tomorrow girl, Our future's bright. Well, I know I was wrong, But, I was just a fool, Too blind to see You were the only girl for me. Ah but now I see the light, And everything's gonna be all right, Baby, hold me tight. Well, I know I was wrong, But, I was just a fool, Too blind to see You were the only girl for me. Ah but now I see the light, And everything's gonna be all right, Baby, hold me tight.
