DO I LOVE YOU (INDEED I DO)

Live 14 Nov 2022 version

[Spoken intro (Jimmy Fallon):] Performing "Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)" from his new album, "Only the Strong Survive," once again, Bruce Springsteen!

One, two! A-one, two, three, four!

Come on!

(Ooh ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh ooh)

Here I am on bended knees, I lay my heart down at your feet
(Do I love you?)
Oh, all you have to do is ask, I'll give until there's nothing left
(Do I love you?)

As long as there is life in me your happiness is guaranteed
I'll fill your heart with ecstasy, darling
Do I love you?

Do I love you?
Do I love you?
Indeed I do
Oh darling, indeed I do

Come on

The very thing that I want most is just to have and hold you close
(Do I love you?)
Oh, from morning until late at night you fill my heart with pure delight
(Do I love you?)

Well whenever I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord your soul to keep
And bring it on home safe to me, darling
Do I (love you?)

Come on darling, (do I love you?)
Do I, (do I love you?)
Indeed I do
Oh darling, indeed I do

Ah come on, shake that thing

Whenever I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord your soul to keep
And bring it all home safe to me, darling
Do I love you?

Do I (love you?)
Oh darling, (do I love you?)
Indeed I do
Sweet darling, indeed I do
Come on baby, indeed I do
Come on sugar, indeed I do
Ooh ooh
(Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Whoa

Info

The above lyrics are for the live 14 Nov 2022 performance of DO I LOVE YOU (INDEED I DO) during the taping of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The NBC show is filmed in Studio 6B in 30 Rockefeller Plaza at Rockefeller Center in New York City, NY. The song was played in its full band album arrangement.

For his only TV appearance to promote his Only The Strong Survive album, Bruce Springsteen "took over" The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon with four nights of performances.

• On the second night (Tuesday, 15 Nov 2022), Springsteen closed the show with a performance of TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME.
• On the third night (Wednesday, 16 Nov 2022), Springsteen closed the show with a performance of NIGHTSHIFT. Though it was broadcast as the musical performance of the show's 16 Nov 2022 episode, the song was actually performed during the taping of the 14 Nov 2022 episode.
• On the fourth night (Thurdsday, 24 Nov 2022), Springsteen closed the show with a performance of DON'T PLAY THAT SONG. Though it was broadcast as the musical performance of the show's 24 Nov 2022 Thanksgiving special episode, the song was actually performed during the taping of the 15 Nov 2022 episode.
