Tell Me This Is Love

I used to wait for her, after school
By the gates with my books baby feeling a fool
I used to walk her home every night
In the summer or winter in the sun or ice
We never spoke, I never caught her eye
She didn't even know I was there half the time
I don't think she even knew my name
But I made sure that she always got home safe.

Raise your hands
Tell me this is love
Baby raise your hands
Do it just because.

Wait, you won't believe it, she said my name
It was a day like today like any other day
I was walking her home, ten feet back
She turned around stared at me and went on the attack
She said you could at least walk by my side
And so I stepped right up and said that sounded alright
Now I walk her home every night
Whoa hand in hand, our footsteps are in time.

Raise your hands
Tell me this is love
Baby raise your hands
Do it just because.
