Lyrics:

Apples, peaches, bananas and pears

I love you

Girl now that's the truth

I need you

Don't be cruel, don't be cruel

Give me just a little help

And to show how much I care

I'll bring you apples, peaches, bananas and pears

Run to me

Girl don't wait too long

And you'll see

I won't do you wrong

Promise me no matter what

Forever you'll be there

I'll bring you apples, peaches, bananas and pears

I've said all I can today

Girl that's the way I am

Take it for what it's worth

Throw the rest into the sand

Give me you

Girl that's all I ask

Please be true

All I wants the love to last

I'll give it all back to you

Just to prove I'm fair

I'll bring you apples, peaches, bananas and pears

Wow!

Well all right..

[instrumental]

I love you

Girl now that's the truth

I need you

Don't be cruel, don't be cruel

Give me just a little help

And to show how much I care

I'll bring you apples, peaches, bananas and pears

Apples, peaches, bananas and pears
