The night I laid my eyes on you
Felt everything around me move
Got nervous when you looked my way
But you knew all the words to say
Then your love slowly moved right in
All this time, oh my love where you been

Mi amore, don't you know
My love, I want you so
Sugar, you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet

La la la la la la
La la la la la la

I'm mesmerized in every way
You keep me in a state of daze
You're kisses make my skin feel weak
I'm always melting in your heat
Then I soar like a bird in the wind
Oh, I glide as I'm flying through heaven

Mi amore, don't you know
My love, I want you so
Sugar, you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet

Mi amore, don't you know
My love, I want you so
Sugar, you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet

Since we connect behind closed doors
Spark this fire even more
No telling where we will be next
Surrender to your rapture arrest
Lay your head, let the slumber float
Can't resist, that's why words were wrote

Mi amore, don't you know
My love, I want you so
Sugar, you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet

Mi amore, don't you know
My love, I want you so, yeah
Sugar, you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet

Mi amore, don't you know
My love, I want you so
Sugar, you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet

Mi amore, don't you know
My love, I want you so
Sugar, you make my soul complete
Rapture tastes so sweet





Mi amore, don't you know

Probably I spend like 18 years searching for the song (I'm 30). The only thing that I used to reference was the chorus-beat (la la la la la la) that obviously it doesn't work😂

@AK-fo3mj

I feel you! I've been searching for a song I kept listening to since my childhood and didn't know the name of. Finally found it randomly on a UK Chart during Christmas. It was Sugababes-Too lost in you.

@therealrealSANDMAN

Same problem that I have right now with another song 😅

@Hamid__786

@@therealrealSANDMAN same to me ..

@pawansharma499

First time i listened it in 2008 in a indian mix song, but doesn't found the official song, but today in July 2020 i finally found it..

@carljohnson_gtasa

My brother played it in 2007 and I was in 7th that time, I'm from India 🇮🇳 I used watch English song in my pc in the absence of my brother only to watch Kissings honestly (bcoz Bollywood hasn't much kissing songs that time), I found Enrique Iglesias songs like escape, addicted etc it has plenty kissings.

Im much influenced by English songs such as from Metallica, Guns 'n Roses, Bryan Adams- summer of '69, Sting-desert rose, Evanescence, Backstreet Boys, Nirvana, Blues, Linkin Park and many songs I don't remember.. I had this Rapture song in that folder. Now I m 23yrs old.
