Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To come into my life
Who would bring me joy
And give me pleasure
I have taken chances on
Romances once or twice
And I found that in my heart
You and only you can
Make me feel the way I do
You and only you can
Make it better
You and only you can
Do the freaky things you do
And I'm so into you and
That's forever and ever
All my life
My love's been
Waiting for you
All my life
My heart's been waiting too
All my life
I've been wishing
On a star
I've been praying
On my knees
I've got some sly and
Sexy tricks to show you
Most of all
I'll give you anything
Boy that you need
To keep you right
Here by my side
I know you
I'll show you
You and only you can
Make me feel the way I do
You and only you can
Make it better
You and only you can
Do the freaky things you do
And I'm so into you and
That's forever and ever
All my life
My love's been
Waiting for you
All my life
My heart's been waiting too
Don't you know I need you
And adore you
All my life
I'll give to only you
