Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes you are, the one that I can't get enough of
You are, everything I've been missing
You are, so I won't put up a resistance
People ask me how I know
Cause I feel it in my heart
How I feel so strange inside, whenever we're apart
I just know, cause I've never felt this way before
I just know, because I've got this special feeling
I know I feel it with everything within me
Yes you are, everything that I need
Yes you are, I feel that you're the other half of me
Yes you are, the air that I breathe
You are, the man that makes me so complete
People ask me how I know
