Laura and Tommy were lovers
He wanted to give her everything
Flowers, presents and most of all
a wedding ring
He saw a sign for a stock car race
A thousand dollar prize it read
He couldn't get Laura on the phone
So to her mother Tommy said
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura I may be late
I've something to do
that cannot wait
He drove his car
to the racing grounds
He was the youngest driver there
And the crowed roared
as they started the race
'Round the track
they drove at a deadly pace
No one knows what
happened that day
How his car overturned in flames
But as they pulled him
from the twisted wreck
With his dying breath
they heard him say
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die
And in the chapel
where Laura prays
For Tommy who passed away
It was just for Laura
he lived and died
Alone in the chapel
she can hear him cry
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I love her

I love Corinna
tell the world I do
I love Corinna
tell the world I do
And I pray at night
she'd like to love me too
Corinna, Corinna, Corinna,
Corinna, Corinna, Corinna
I love you so
Oh little darling
where you've been so long
Oh little darling
where you've been so long
I ain't had no lovin'
since you've been gone
Corinna, Corinna, Corinna
Corinna, Corinna, Corinna
I love you so
I left Corinna way across the sea
Oh me I left Corinna way
across the sea
And if you see Corinna
send her home to me
Corinna, Corinna, Corinna,
Corinna, Corinna, Corinna
I love you so
Corinna, Corinna, Corinna,
Corinna, Corinna, Corinna
I love you so
Oh darling don't you know
I love you so
