It's impossible
Ooh baby, baby yeah your loving feels so good
I've got you in my head for weeks and
Baby I have never felt this feeling
Baby push me into the deep end
I feel so high that I can touch the ceiling
Ooh baby, baby can you tell me how this is possible
It's impossible
Ooh baby, baby yeah your loving feels so good
Oh baby, baby can you tell me how this is possible
Ooh baby, baby can you tell me how this is possible
It's impossible
Ooh baby, baby yeah your loving feels so good
I want you to know
I'd follow you blindly
If you were to go
Because you remind me
Of a safe and happy home
And baby I chose you
