Lili Haydn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I want is your sweet loving
But when you move away from me
I feel just like I am drowning
And I know the sweetness is right before our eyes
I would do anything to be with you
Make it through to understanding
Talk to me, I know we'll make it through
I'm trying not to be so scared
Sometimes I don't know if you want me
When all I need is tenderness
Show me how to love somebody
And I know the sweetness is right before our eyes
I would do anything to be with you
Make it through to understanding
Anywhere you want me to
Talk to me, I know we'll make it through
Who knows what forever brings
But I am ready for real love
I would do anything to be with you
Make it through to understanding
Anywhere you want me to
Talk to me, I know we'll make it
Anything to be with you
Make it through to understanding
Anywhere you want me to
Talk to me, I know we'll make it through
I would do anything to be with you
Make it through to understanding
Anywhere you want me to
Talk to me, I know we'll make it
Anything to be with you
Make it through to understanding
Anywhere you want me to
Talk to me, I know we'll make it through
