But that's all changed because I've found someone
If I had blinked I probably never would have met her
And now I wouldn't change a thing
She seems to sparkle with her every move
My mind goes crazy when she's in the room
If I had blinked I probably never would have met her
And now I wouldn't change a thing
Try not to think of how things were when you weren't here
My friends all say I've lost my head and it's not fair
Nothing matters when I call and you're not there
I've fallen totally in love and I don't care
I used to think that I could hold my own
I'd rather die than have to live alone
If I had blinked I probably never would have met her
And now I wouldn't change a thing
Try not to think of how things were when you weren't here
My friends all say I've lost my head and it's not fair
Nothing matters when I call and you're not there
I've fallen totally in love and I don't care, I don't care
