I don't believe in love on the borrow
Here today & then gone tomorrow
You've got to stick by me through the bad days
It's forever, now & always
So if you want me, go out & buy a ring
You gotta show me before I do a thing
Before I start to kiss you, before I start to miss you
Before I let you take my heart
'Cause I know a lot of guys
They go along telling lies & breaking hearts
They make you cry
That's the reason why
That's the reason why
Don't you know you got prove that your love is real
Let the preacher close the deal
I don't wanna take a chance
On just a fly-by-night romance
That's the reason why
That's the reason why
(instrumental)
That's the reason why
That's the reason why
(repeat "Don't you know you've got to prove that your love is real," etc.)
Now I don't mean to be hard on you
But baby this is what I gotta do
You know so many guys have come around
...& fade
