Tell Me Twice

I stopped looking for your big blue eyes
When your tail lights blinked, you were rolling out of sight
There was nothing I could do but go riding with a man
Had the same blue eyes and some money in his hand

Tell me once, tell me twice, do you love me?
If you ask me one more time then you'll know
Tell me twice, tell me three times, you're my baby
How much gas is in the car? How far can we go?

I'm not saying that it didn't mean a thing
And I cried in my pillow, prayed you'd come back in spring
But you never sent a letter and you never even called
Got engaged in the summer, getting married this fall

Tell me once, tell me twice, do you love me?
If you ask me one more time then you'll know
Tell me twice, tell me three times, you're my darlin'
How much gas is in the car? How far can we go?

I wish I coulda kept ya, yeah, I wish that you were mine
But you drove across the country and I was left behind
I can still remember perfect hands upon my skin
Got a sparkle in your eye and a big wide grin

Tell me once, tell me twice, do you love me?
If you ask me one more time then you'll know
Tell me twice, tell me three times, you're my lovely
How much gas is in the car? How far can we go?
How much money is in the jar? How far can we go?
How much drinkin' is in the bar? How far can we go?
