Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Darling when I look into your eyes the love I see can’t be denied
Oh baby you are so fine I am glad to know that YOU ARE MINE

[Chorus]
You make me feel like flower I need a shower
So baby rain on me every minute every hour
Never knew that love can be so complete
Ever since you came my way I never seen a brightest day

When I see your face all I can say is you
You are like the sun in the middle of the day
You light me up you light me up
Every moment is like summer you are my everything
You light me up you light me up
You light me up you light me up

Sugar your lips are so sweet
Like morning is to the spring
And baby what you do to me
You got my skin creeping

[Chorus]

You make me feel like flower I need a shower
So baby rain on me every minute every hour
Never knew that love can be .. so complete
Ever since you came my way I never seen a brightest day
When I see your face all I can say is you
You are like the sun in the middle of the day
You light me up you light me up
Every moment is like summer you are my everything
You light me up you light me up
You light me up you light me up
You are like the sun in the middle of the day
You light me up you light me up
Every moment is like summer you are my everything

You light me up you light me up
You light me up you light me up
