Píseň: That's All I Need To Know

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
The Two Sides Of Sam Cooke
Darling I promise,
 from this day forward
 to go wherever you go
 If you only tell me that you love me
 That's all I need to know


 You don't have to tell me 'bout your past life
 about things you've done before
 oh my darling just say you love me
 That's all I need to know


 I'll be your slave, your every crave
 And wish is my command
 But when I'm blue and lonely too
 Be there to hold my hand


 You don't have to tell me where you came from
 All I know is I love you so
 just say you love me
 That's all I need to know


 {repeat last 2 verses}
 why don't you say you love me
 That's all I need to know
