Titolo: "love me DO" ????

Scusate la domanda veramente stupida....cosa vuol dire Love me do????
p.s  mi dite anche come si dice Ti voglio bene (americano...se c'è qualche
differenza!)???

 differenza!)???
In genere usano "I love you" molto più spesso di noi. Tra genitori e figli,
per esempio, non fanno che dirselo (nei film, per lo meno). Altrimenti si
dice "to be fond of" oppure "to care for", ma quando ci si rivolge
direttamente alla persona oggetto del nostro affetto è molto più comune
usare "love". In attesa di conferme o smentite dagli American realmers...

 do????
I understand it to be a way for the poet to ask a question of the other.
"Do love me". 
If memory serves me right: 
"Love, love me do, as I love you. So please , love me dooooo."  
Purely a poetical arrangement of the 'do' to rhyme with 'you'.
cheers,
Loki

 If memory serves me right:
    I'm afraid it doesn't:
    Love, love me do
    You know I love you
    I'll always be true
    So pleeeeeeeeeeease
    Love me do wo-oh love me do
    Love, love me do
    You know I love you
    I'll always be true
    So pleeeeeeeeeeease
    Love me do wo-oh love me do
    Someone to love
    Somebody new
    Someone to love
    Someone like you
    Love, love me do
    You know I love you
    I'll always be true
    So pleeeeeeeeeeease
    Love me do wo-oh love me do
    Love, love me do
    You know I love you
    I'll always be true
    So pleeeeeeeeeeease
    Love me do wo-oh love me do
    Love me do wo-oh love me do

 OF YOU.
Dear Paola,
I think what might have been said to you was 'I care _for_ you' since I care
of you is incorrect.
Trusting you will excuse the correction,

Ok ho capito (lentemente) I had thought you meant to say Love me do was
Ok spoken English. I too do study, just not enough...;-]
BTW
There are _al meno_ 16 definitions of 'do' as a verb. And another 9 as
an intransitive verb (and this is not counting the sub-categories!),
another 2 as an auxillary verb and 5 as a noun. Then there is idiom and
music. :-)
From my sacred book (dictionary) : 'I do study', fits this definition of
'do' :
 auxillary verb - used with the infinitive without 'to' for emphasis (I
do say) and especially to form an imperative (do be careful); regularly
so used in negative sentences. (don't be silly)

Loki

 was from Canada, should be some difference? Thanks again!
Perhaps he was French Canadian, so his English would be a second
language too.
