Who Would Have Thought
Boyz II Men Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On a very special day
This feeling will never go away
Now I can say
That with you, my love, I'll always stay
Look at me and tell me if I'm being deceived
Cause right now this feelin' is hard to believe
[Chorus]
Who would have thought it'd be this way?
Oh, no
I never thought I'd fall in love on Christmas day
Who would have thought I'd fall in love on Christmas day?
I can't believe
That you are right here with me
The star on my Christmas tree
I want to love you endlessly
And that's the way I always want it to be (want it to be)
Standing there when the lights from the tree
Meets your eyes
I can see
That I only want you
'Cause you're all that I need
[Chorus]
I'd never fall in love on Christmas day
I never thought I'd fall in love
On Christmas, Christmas day I'd fall in love
[Chorus]
I know that Christ came down
To endure my sins and shame
But now my dear we fall in love
On this very special day
This day
Do do do do do do do do do do do hey
Thought it'd be this way
Oh, no
I never thought I'd fall in love
I never thought I'd fall in love
Who would have thought I'd fall in love on Christmas day?
