You Were Made For Me
Freddie the Dreamers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody tells me so
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Don't pretend that you don't know
All the trees were made for little things that sing and fly
And the sun was made to burn so bright and light the sky
Pretty eyes were never made to cry, they were made to see
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Everybody tells me so
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Don't pretend that you don't know
All the flowers in the field were made to please the bees
For the fishe as someone made the rivers and the seas
Every hand was made to to hold another, tenderly
When I kissed you on your lips I knew that you were made for me
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Everybody tells me so
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Don't pretend that you don't know
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Everybody tells me so
You were made for me (you were made for me)
Don't pretend that you don't know
Every hand was made to hold another, tenderly
When I kissed you on your lips I knew that you were made
You were made
You were made for me
