When You Love Me

You make this ordinary girl feel just like a queen
And this two room house with you
Inside is such a stately thing
Forty acres of Georgia clay
Seems just like Montego Bay
And December turns to May when you love me

This cotton gown feels soft as lace
When I’m lying by your side
And the rain against this ol’ tin roof
Sounds like the ocean tide
Mama’s torn and tattered quilt
On this ol’ homemade bed you built me
To me
It feels smooth as silk when you love me

No, I’m not dreaming
It’s just how I feel
I’ve never felt something I know is so real
That broken down ol’ beat-up truck
Is like a limousine to us
You change my world with your touch
When you love me
When you love me
