Note: Written and first recorded by Frank Wilson. Springsteen's version includes a sample of Wilson's original Motown recording.

Lyrics

Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)

Come on!

(Ooh ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh ooh)

Here I am on bended knees, I lay my heart down at your feet
(Do I love you?)
All you have to do is ask, I'll give until there's nothing left
(Do I love you?)

As long as there is life in me your happiness is guaranteed
I'll fill your heart with ecstasy, darling
(Do I love you?)

Tell me now, (do I love you?)
Ooh ooh, (do I love you?)
Indeed I do
Oh darling, indeed I do

The very thing that I want most is just to have and hold you close
(Do I love you?)
From morning until late at night you fill my heart with pure delight
(Do I love you?)

Whenever I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord your soul to keep
And bring it on home safe to me, darling
(Do I love you?)

Everyone go on, (do I love you?)
Do I, (do I love you?)
Indeed I do
Sweet darling, indeed I do

Come on!

Now whenever I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord your soul to keep
And bring it home safe to me, darling
(Do I love you?)

Oh tell me now, (do I love you?)
Oh darling, (do I love you?)
Indeed I do
Sweet darling, indeed I do
Oh baby, indeed I do
Hello baby, (indeed I do)
Ooh ooh, (indeed I do)
Oh darling, (indeed I do)
