I Love You
Kevin Johnson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna hold you my arms my baby girl, I love you - I love you
I wanna dream of me and you together, all night long - all night long
Baby - unforgettable
Baby - unbelieve
You are - always stuck in my mind

Tell me - that you're coming back
Tell me - that you want me again
My life - is unbearable
My nights - without your love and on my own

Baby I cannot go on tonight
Without your love and on my own
Baby I'll love you for ever ever ever ever

I wanna hold you my arms my baby girl, I love you - I love you
I wanna dream of me and you together, all night long - all night long

I wanna look into your eyes my baby girl, I love you - I love you
I wanna live this fantasy forever, all alone - all alone

Baby - come and save my soul
Baby - I cannot go on
You are - all I have ever known

Tell me - that you will forgive
Tell me - that you understand
My fault - it was just a game
My night - without your love and on my own

Baby I cannot go on tonight
Without your love and on my own
Baby I'll love you for ever ever ever ever

I wanna hold you my arms my baby girl, I love you - I love you
I wanna dream of me and you together, all night long - all night long

I wanna look into your eyes my baby girl, I love you - I love you
I wanna live this fantasy forever, all alone - all alone

Baby I cannot go on tonight




Without your love and on my own
Baby I'll love you for ever ever ever ever
