She Said Yes - Wilson Pickett Jr.

A girl I wanted all my life

I asked her to be my wife

She said yes (she said yes)

I didn’t have money for a wedding band

Still she went & took my hand

She said yes (she said yes)

La la la, la la la la la la la (x2)

Her folks had some other plan

For her to marry another man

She said no (she said no, she said no)

They didn’t particularly care for me

But our love was meant to be

'Cause she said yes (she said yes, she said yes)

La la la, la la la la la la la (x2)

Ooo yeah

(Instrumental)

Listen, I’m thankful for love I’ve found

Thank you for changin' my life around

Thank you for the love you gave me day by day, oh

Other love has come & gone

But our love seems to linger on

'Cause she said yes, oh yes she did (she said yes)

While other loves have faded away

Our love grows stronger day by day

'Cause she said yes (she said yes)

(Repeat & fade):

La la la, la la la la la la la
