George StraitCheck Yes Or No

It started way back in third grade
I used to sit beside emmylou hayes
a pink dress, a matching bow and her pony tail
she kissed me on the school bus, but told me not to tell next day I chased her 'round the playground
across the monkey bars, to the merry-go-round
and emmylou got caught passing me a note
before the teacher took it, I read what she wrote [chorus:]
"do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?
and if you do
well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand
If you want to
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no" now we're grown up and she's my wife
still like two kids with stars in our eyes
ain't much changed, I still chase emmylou
up and down the hall, around the bed in our room last night I took her out in a white limousine
twenty years together, she still gets to me
can't believe it's been that long ago
when we got started with just a little note [chorus] (2x) check yes or no
check yes or no
check yes or no
check yes or no
