Can you hear me out there
Have you ever had someone who loved you
Never leave your side

Because you love me, yes you do

I'm giving all my life and all my love, if you,
Promise me you'll be here forever
Ill give you me I'll give you everything
If you promise me you'll never leave me

What my friends say don't matter
You'll be right here from the start
And ill get on my knees
I'll give you all of me
You'll never leave my side
Because

You love me
You complete me
You hold my heart in your hands
And its okay cause I trust that
You'll be the best man that you can

Baby you love me, oh yes you do, yea

And no matter what they ever say about you

Cause you held me down when no body was around
And gave me all the love I need
