-------------------------------------------
And I wake up in the morning,
with my hair down in my eyes,
And she says hi, and I stumble
to the breakfast table,
While the kids are going off to
school goodbye.
And she reaches out and takes my
hand,
Squeezes it, says, how you
feelin' hon?
And I look across at smiling
lips that warm my heart and see my morning sun.
And if that's not lovin' me,
then all I've got to say.
God didn't make little green
apples
And it don't rain in
Indianapolis in the summertime.
There's no such thing as Dr.
Zeuss, Disneyland, and Mother Goose no nurs'ry rhyme.
God didn't make little green
apples
And it don't rain in
Indianapolis when the winter comes.
There's no such thing as
make-believe, puppy dogs, and autumn leaves and B.B. guns.
Sometimes I call her up at home
knowing she's busy
And ask if she could get away
and meet me, and grab a bite to eat.
And she drops what she's doin'
and hurries down to meet me, and I'm always late.
But she sits, waiting patiently
and smiles when she first sees me
Cause she's made that way and if
that's not lovin' me
Then all I've got to
say.(chorus)
