Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To find out what is right
And every night I try it's always on my mind
True love is what I need
True love is joy to me
Always the same old thing
I got to, got to, got to tell you
Who loves me like I do?
What can I do? I do
I really need someone
Who makes me feel so good
What can I do?
So good (8x)
I'm dreaming all alone
And this is how I know
My friends they always say
A love will come my way
Don't let it hurt so bad
Don't let it pass you down
'Cause now I try to say
I got to, got to, got to tell you
Uh love is coming
My heart's burning
Hold me darling
Now we got to, got to, got to prove it

Também gosto desta música, apesar de não ser muito fã deste estilo musical. Me lembra uma época muito boa, meio dos anos 90.
