“Apples, Peaches, Bananas and Pears”

Apples, peaches, bananas, and pears

I love you
Girl, now that’s the truth
I need you
Don’t be cruel, don’t be cruel
Give me just a little help
And to show how much I care
I’ll bring you apples, peaches, bananas, and pears

Run to me
Girl, don’t wait too long
And you’ll see
I won’t do you wrong
Promise me, no matter what
Forever you’ll be there
I’ll bring you apples, peaches, bananas, and pears

I’ve said all I can today, girl
That’s the way I am
Take it for what it’s worth
And throw the rest into the sun

Give me you
Girl, that’s all I ask
Please be true
All I want’s a love to last
I’ll give it all back to you
And just to prove I’m fair
I’ll bring you apples, peaches, bananas, and pears
Whoa!

[break]

I love you
Girl, now that’s the truth
I need you
Don’t be cruel, don’t be cruel
Give me just a little help
And to show how much I care
I’ll bring you apples, peaches, bananas, and pears
Apples, peaches, bananas, and pears
