(Bum bum bum bum, bum-bum bum,)
(Bum bum bum bum, bum-bum bum,)

The doo-wop lines from above are continued throught the song.

Does she love me, with all her heart?
Should I worry, when we're apart?
It's a lover's question,
I'd like to know-oh-wo-oh-wo-oh-oh-wo-oh.

Does she need me, as she pretends?
Is this a game? Well then, will I win?
It's a lover's question,
I'd like to know-oh-wo-oh-wo-oh-oh-wo.

I'd like to know when she's not with me,
If she's still true to me.
I'd like to know when we're kissing,
Does she feel just what I feel,
And how am I to know it's really real?

Oh, tell me where, the answer lies.
Is it in her kiss or in her eyes?
Well, it's a lover's question,
I'd like to know-oh-wo-oh-wo-oh-oh-wo-oh.

I'd like to know when she's not with me,

It's a lover's question I'd like to know.
I'd like to know-oh-wo-oh-wo-oh-oh-wo-oh.
I'd like to know. I'd like to know.
I-I-I'd like to know.
