Lyrics

Like a fool I went and stayed too long
Now I'm wondering if your love's still strong
Ooo baby, here I am
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
Yeah
Then that time I went and said goodbye
Now I'm back and not ashamed to cry
Ooo baby, here I am
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
(I'll be yours)
Here I am baby
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
Here I am baby, I am
(Signed, sealed, delivered)
I'm yours, baby
Done a lot of foolish things
That I really didn't mean, yeah
Ooo-wee babe you set my soul on fire
That's why I know you're my one desire
Ooo baby, here I am
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
(I'm yours)
Yeah
Here I am baby
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
Here I am baby
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
Done a lot of foolish things
(Done a lot)
That I really didn't mean
(Got a feeling)
I could be a broken man
(Here I am, here I am)
Here I am baby
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
Here I am baby
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours, baby
Here I am baby
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
Here I am baby
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
(Everybody)
I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
(I'm yours)
I'm yours
I'm yours
(Ooh, I'm yours)
I'm yours
(Remember I am yours)
Here I am baby
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
Here I am baby
Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours
Here I am baby
