Just to Prove My Love For You

[Verse 1]
I could walk across Kansas in a New York minute
Climb the Colorado mountains in the fall
Crawl through Arizona like a flatland lizard
If I thought it'd do me any good at all
I could swim Lake Erie with my hands tied behind me
Eat a West Virginia coal miner's shoes
Drink the Mississippi River if it took a month of Sundays
Just to prove my love for you

[Chorus]
I remember well the first time that I kissed you
'Cause things ain't been the same ever since
You got me thinkin' I could eat a tenpenny nail
And spit out a barbed wire fence
Well, there ain't a livin' creature gonna ever come between us
I'd fight lions, snakes, and gorillas too
If that ain't enough, I'll start all over
Just to prove my love for you, do-do-do-do

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I could ride my pony through the eye of a hurricane
Climb Mount Everest on a string
Jump Niagara Falls in a burnin' barrel
And bring you back the hoops for a ring
Wrestle alligators in the Okefenokee
There's nothin' that I wouldn't do
If you just say the word, I'll catch that Great Speckled Bird
And bring it back to you

[Chorus]
I remember well the first time that I kissed you
'Cause things ain't been the same ever since
You got me thinkin' I could eat a tenpenny nail
And spit out a barbed wire fence
Well, there ain't a livin' creature gonna ever come between us
I'd fight lions, snakes, and gorillas too
If that ain't enough, I'll start all over
Just to prove my love for you, do-do-do-do

[Outro]
I could walk across Kansas in a New York minute
Climb the Colorado mountains in the fall
Crawl through Arizona like a flatland lizard
If I thought it'd do me any good at all
I could swim Lake Erie with my hands tied behind me
Eat a West Virginia coal miner's shoes
Drink the Mississippi River if it took a month of Sundays
