Baby, oh don't let it end
Baby let me be your number one
Hold me in your arms, we can't go wrong
What I've got is what you need
Oh, you make my life complete
Will you tell my heart, you want this love
Can we try a start, what I'm dreaming of?
If I were you
Oh I'll never, ever let you go
Baby and the time will show
My love, I can't get enough
If I were you
Oh I'll never, ever break your heart
Tonight is what it means to start
My love, I can't get enough
You can run but you can't hide
Baby, love is on my side
Tonight is what it means to be young
Cause I feel two hearts will beat as one
The more you live, the more you love
Baby, you can turn it on
Tears are not enough to end this love
Can we try a start, what I'm dreaming of?
