Hallelujah, I love her so

Let me tell you 'bout a girl I know

She is my baby and she lives next door

Every mornin' 'fore the sun comes up

She brings me coffee in my favorite cup

That's why I know, yes, I know

Hallelujah, and I love her so

When I'm in trouble and I have no friend

I know she'll go with me until the end

Everybody asks me how I know

I smile at them and say, "She told me so"

That's why I know, oh, I know

Hallelujah, and I love her so

Now, if I call her on the telephone

And tell her that I'm all alone

By the time I count from one to four

I hear her (knock, knock, knock, knock) on my door

In the evening when the sun goes down

When there is nobody else around

She kisses me and she holds me tight

And tells me, "Daddy, everything's all right"

That's why I know, yes, I know

Hallelujah, and I love her so

(Additional lyrics in Ray Charles version)

Oh, hallelujah

Don't you know, I just love her so?

She's my little woman, waitin' all this time

Babe, I'm a little fool for you, little girl
