Question
I heard this one song on the radio randomly while waiting for a friend at the parking lot.I have no clue or clear reference to it in particular except for few of the words in between(these might not be the exact the lyrics to the song)...the artist is apparently singing about when he was a kid or a teen and was in love with this girl in his class.There's one line where he tells about passing a note to her but the teacher takes it before it can reach her.Also,the chorus contains"Do you love me,do you want me"/or it could me "i love you,i want you" instead of the do's.
I'm not sure.Lyrics also contain "My friend".
Please help me out this because i thought it was a beautiful song and would love for nothing more but to hear it again.I'm sorry I have so little to help and work with.

Answer
Hi Rahul!  The song you're looking for is George Strait's "Check Yes or No." Here are the lyrics and a link to the video.  Hope this helps!

Artist: George Strait
Song: Check Yes Or No

It started way back in third grade
I used to sit beside Emmy Lou Hayes
A pink dress, a matching bow in her ponytail
She kissed me on the school bus, but told me not to tell
Next day I chased her around the playground
Across the monkey bars to the merry-go-round
And Emmy Lou got caught passing me a note, before the teacher took it, I read what she wrote:

Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do, well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand, if you want to.
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no

Now we're grown up and she's my wife
Still like two kids with stars in our eyes
Ain't much changed I still chase Emmy Lou
Up and down the hall, around the bed in our room
Last night I took her out in a white limousine
Twenty years together she still gets to me
Can't believe it's been that long ago
When we got started with just a little note

Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do, well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand, if you want to.
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no.

Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do, well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand, if you want to.
I think this is how love goes, check yes or no.

Check yes or no
Check yes or no
Check yes or no
