Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know you but
I think I want to
Know what's in your heart
Who you really are
Who you want to be
Girl, you captivate me
Tell me everything
You are an open book
I want to read you
'Til the cover comes off
Discover meanings
Girl, I'll never give you up
And, oh
Just hold you close you to me
You'd be my everything
My everything
Oh, just hold you close you to me
You'd be my everything
My everything
Hey, my love
I will treat you sweet
I thank the Lord above
For leading me to this path
That lead to you
I've no idea, but my girl, I thank you
Oh girl, I thank you
Oh, just hold you close you to me
You'd be my everything
My everything
Oh, just hold you close you to me
You'd be my everything
My everything
Ohh-oh-oh-oh-oh
You'll be my
My everything
Oh, you are
And, oh
Just hold you close you to me
You'd be my everything (you'll be my)
My everything (my everything, oh, you are)
Oh, just hold you close you to me (you're beautiful)
You'd be my everything (you'll be my everything)
My everything (my everything, oh, you are)
