You're looking so good, everything's in place
Don't you know I could never leave your side, girl
Won't you stay here with me and be my bride?
Don't you know you're my kind, you're just what I like, girl
You're everything, don't you know you're alright
The only girl I've always needed for so long
You're my everything
Oh, oh, she's my cover girl
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, she's my cover girl
Oh, oh, oh, oh
When I look through the pages of a magazine
Still, your pretty face is the prettiest I've seen
Don't you know I only want to be with you
No other girl could make me feel the way you do
You're my everything

50 yrs old now and I still love these guys music. The way Donnie brought that little girl on stage and sang to her, making her feel so special is what these guys were about. They always reached out to their fans when they played concerts.
