Her name’s Wendy… yeah it still hits me strong
Like a front porch wind when the day’s gone wrong
Brown eyes burnin’ like a west Texas sky
And that long dark hair… man it stops me every time
First time I saw her, I knew right away
Wasn’t no game, wasn’t no maybe someday
Heart locked in, didn’t matter where I’d been
She walked in my life… and that was the end
(Chorus)
She’s everything I never knew I’d need
Got a hold on my heart, yeah she set me free
Lovin’ me strong, yeah she don’t hold back
Puts me together when I’m comin’ off track
Every day she shows me what love’s about
No doubt in my mind, ain’t no way out
I’ve been a lotta things, but baby it’s true
Wendy… I’m gonna marry you
(Verse 2)
She’s steady like a song you don’t ever skip
Got fire in her soul and truth on her lips
Smart as they come, but she still holds me tight
Makes a rough man feel like he’s doin’ somethin’ right
Yeah she don’t just talk it, nah she lives it too
Every little thing she says she’ll do
And I thank the good Lord every night I pray
He sent me an angel and He let her stay
(Chorus)
She’s everything I never knew I’d need
Got a hold on my heart, yeah she set me free
Lovin’ me strong, yeah she don’t hold back
Puts me together when I’m comin’ off track
Every day she shows me what love’s about
No doubt in my mind, ain’t no way out
I’ve been a lotta things, but baby it’s true
Wendy… I’m gonna marry you
(Bridge – stripped down, emotional)
I ain’t ever been the kind to settle down
But she turned this whole world around
Now forever don’t feel long enough
When it comes to her kind of love
(Final Chorus – bigger, full band)
She’s everything I never knew I’d need
Yeah she’s my forever, she’s my peace
And I’ll spend my whole life provin’ it’s true
Wendy… I’m gonna marry you
(Outro)
Yeah her name’s Wendy…
And she’s my whole world now
