I bet you don't know how much I love you so
I've been trying hard
Not to let it show
I bet you don't know how much I need you now
I know what to say
But I don't know how

And my love keeps coming on (coming on)
And coming on (coming on)
And getting strong (getting strong)
What else can I do?

I bet you don't know how I really feel
So let me prove my love to you

Time after time
I find myself dreaming of you
I've never felt this way before
This feeling is so new

(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh
(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)

You make my love keep coming on (coming on)
And coming on (coming on)
And getting strong (getting strong)
What else can I do?

I bet you don't know how I really feel
So let me prove my love to you

(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
Let me prove my love to you
(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
Let me prove my love to you
