In a land where the sun takes it's time to go down
A man takes his time too
I been sittin' here for five long years
Just watchin' you
Lately you been makin' plans
You're gonna make your move
Darlin', when you make those plans
Won't you please choose me
Darlin', won¹t you choose me

I could love you like a river
Flows down to the sea
I could love you like a mountain rose
Whose petals love the bee
I could love you like a freight train, mama
Rollin' down a one way track
I could love you like a woman should be loved
You won't be lookin' back
All you gotta do is choose
All you gotta do is choose
Choose me, choose
Choose me, choose

You've had other lovers,
Darlin', I know you had
Some of them were good for you
And some of them were cads
Some just took your money
Others took your pride
Some just tore your heart apart
With their vicious little lies
It don't have to be like that
No
It don¹t have to be like that
No No No No

I ain't got no money
I ain't got no car
Ain't no valentino
Ain't no high price fancy movie star
Ain't got no diamond ring
For to put upon your hand
But I got a love that¹s twice as big
As this here northern land
All you gotta do is choose
All you gotta do is choose
Choose me, choose
Choose me, choose

In a land where the sun takes it's time to go down
A man takes his time too
I been sittin' here for five long years
Just watchin' you
Lately you been makin' plans
You're gonna make your move
Darlin', when you make those plans
Won't you please choose me
Darlin, won't you choose me
Choose me, choose
Choose me, choose
Choose me, choose
