[Chorus]
Do I love her? Do I love her?
With a heart that's true
Do I love her? Do I love her?
Don't you know I do

[Verse 1]
Mrs. Jones won't you put my darling on the phone
Let me tell her
I shouldn't have left her
'Cause I love her just as long as
Bees love honey
Banks love money
Birdies love to fly
Little Jack Horner in the corner loves his Christmas pie
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
Let me speak to your daughter
If she gives me one more chance
I'm gonna love her like I oughta

[Bridge]
I can't forget (I can't forget)
That lacy dress
That she used to wear for me
We'd sit under the apple tree
And I remember (I remember, I remember) that night in September
When my baby cried and cried 'cause they told her love has died

[Chorus]
Do I love her? Do I love her?
With a heart that's true
Do I love her? Do I love her?
I swear I do

[Verse 2]
I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed
For stringing her along
Like a playboy with a play toy
And she loved me just as strong as
Bees love honey
Banks love money
Birdies love to fly (Birdies love to fly)
Little Miss Muffet loves her tuffet
Babies love to cry (Babies love to cry)
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones
Please don't hang up that receiver
If she heard one sweet word
She'd know I would never leave her

[Bridge]
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
She's the best
Oh, the very best
Everything worth living for
Everything that I adore

[Outro]
Do I love her? Do I love her?
With a heart that's true
Do I love her? Do I love her?
I swear I do
As much as bees love honey
Banks love money
Birdies love to fly
Do I love her? Oh yeah
Will I love her? Baby, woo, woo, yeah
I love my baby
I love her

Stevie Wonder

Despite losing his sight at a young age, Stevie Wonder went on to become one of the most celebrated soul songwriters of the late 20th century. His songs manage to both innovate and catch the ears of listeners of all dispositions, whilst also being big chart hits.

Incredibly influential amongst musical circles, his voice rendered modern British soul-songwriter James Morrison close to tears the first time he heard it.
