Guess What
James Johnson 1952 (Algoma, WV)
Guess What
Do you understand
Who would like to be you man
I just want to hold you
Close more than a moment or two
I just want to kiss your
Lips and more lips all the better
I just want to love you
So we both will be true as one
And never part
It is in my heart
Hand in hand we can be lovers
Ask any mother, sister or brothers
And they will tell you
I love you
I really do
