Check Yes Or No Lyrics

It started way back in third grade.
I used to sit beside Emmylou Hayes
A pink dress, a matching bow, and her pony tail.
She kissed me on the school bus, but told me not to tell

Next day I chased her round the playground
Across the monkey bars, to the merry-go-round
And Emmylou got caught passing me a note
Before the teacher took it, I read what she wrote.

(Chorus):
Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do, well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand
If you want to.
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no.

Now we're grown up and she's my wife.
Still like two kids with stars in our eyes.
Ain't much changed, I still chase Emmylou.
Up and down the hall, around the bed in our room.

Last night I took her out in a white limousine
Twenty years later, she still gets to me
Can't believe it's been that long ago.
When we got started with just a little note.

(Chorus)

This song is obviously about a married couple who first met in elementary school. It's so cute, that they still have the passion they first did in school when they met for eachother. Very good song!

Cutest song ever! The meaning is pretty self explanatory. It starts out as just a little crush and as they get older their relationship turns into something bigger, and in the end they get married. Aw.

This is a great older song. I remember it coming out when I was the age of the children in the song! Now, hearing it as a young adult, it makes me wish that someday my husband will be that crazy about me and chase me playfully around the house! I love the story of a relationship that maintains the childlike spirit of fun and interest.

A simple yes of no would suffice in this case

Cover art for Check Yes Or No lyrics by George Strait

It started back in third grade when she had a crush and wrote a note. The teacher took it but someone else did read it first. Her best friend. Then years later they find each other again and she writes another note directly to him on the hood of his truck at her sisters.
