Lyrics
I love girl, girl love me.
I am in love with a girl, and she loves me.

Enjoying simple pleasures like soda pop with the radio playing.
Dedicate my girl a song.
Dedicating a song to my girl, expressing affection.
Gone are days of simple things,
Nostalgia for the past when things were simpler.
Got to buy baby diamond rings.
Nowadays, the pressure to buy expensive gifts like diamond rings.
Keep it simple, just don't brag.
