Lemme tell you 'bout a boy I know
He's my baby and he lives next door
In the morning when the sun comes up
He brings me coffee in my favorite cup
That's how I know, Hallelujah, I just love him so
When I'm in trouble and I have no friends
I know he'll go with me until the end
Everybody asks me how I know
I smile and tell them that he told me so
That's how I know, yes I know
Hallelujah, I just love him so
When I call him on the telephone
And I tell him that I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four
I hear him knockin' on my door
In the evenin' when the sun goes down
And there ain't nobody else around
He kisses me and he holds me tight
And tells me, "Dixie, everything's alright"
That's how I know, yes I know
Hallelujah, I just love him so
When I call him on the telephone
And I tell him that I'm all alone
By the time I count from one to four
I hear him knockin' on my door
