Love Me Tender Lyrics

[NATALIE]
Love me tender
Love me sweet
Never let me go
You will make my life complete
And I love you so

Love me tender
Love my long
Take me to your heart
For it’s there that I belong
And we’ll never part

[DENNIS, spoken]
Hey Natalie. 

[NATALIE, spoken]
Dennis, do you ever think about leaving town? 

[DENNIS, spoken]
Oh, yeah! 

[NATALIE, spoken]
Well someday, someday real soon, I'm gonna get on my motor bike and hit thе open road. Besides, it's not likе there's a guy in this town for me. 

(sung)
Love me tender!
Love me true!
All my dreams fulfilled
For my darling, I love you
And I always will
