You Changed My Life
Mel Kim Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I knew when I saw you, boy
You liked me too
Your kisses and your charms
They just knocked me out
Without a doubt
But I was shy
I had my pride
Too scared to show my feelings

Deep inside you know that I
Was really only teasing
′Cause you
Changed my life
In every way
And I'm so glad I found you
You make me feel so special, babe
Now I can′t live without you
They said you were not for me
Well, it was jealousy
And whenever we touched
Well, it felt so right
When you held me tight
You were cool
I didn't know
If you were only teasing
We've played these games
For too long now
I′ve got to show my feelings
′Cause you
Changed my life
In every way
And I'm so glad I found you
You make me feel so special, babe
Now I can′t live without you

But I was shy
I had my pride
Too scared to show my feelings
Deep inside you know that I
Was really only teasing
'Cause you
Changed my life
In every way
And I′m so glad I found you
You make me feel so special, babe
Now I can't live without you to
(Fade)
