(Ah, ah, yeah, baby, you're the one)
(Ah, ah, baby, you're the one, girl)

It's so hard to believe it, ah
I can't believe that I found you, girl
All that I ever wanted
Is the view before my eyes

I know that you are my angel
Heaven sent from the Lord above
I simply can't believe it
And I'll be all you ever need

Baby, you're the one that I need
Everything I want you to be
Girl, it's only you that I adore
All I need and so much more
Baby, you're the one that I need
Everything I want because it's you I'm begging for
I call your name
Girl, my heart is yours for sure
Baby, you're the one

Here's my heart, you can keep it (keep it)
You're the only one in my world (in my world)
Girl, I hope you can feel it
That I want you by my side (yeah)

Feels just like I'm in heaven (heaven)
And I hope you can feel it too (it too)
It's hard to just believe it (just believe it)
But I swear these words are true

When I see you girl, I swear that I
Want you always in my life
You're the key to find my way to paradise
I've been longing for this moment
Ever since I've seen your smile
I would do almost anything to have
You right here by my side

Baby, you're the one that I need
Everything I want you to be
Girl, it's only you that I adore
All I need and so much more
Baby, you're the one that I need
Everything I want because it's you I'm begging for
I call your name
Girl, my heart is yours for sure
Baby, you're the one (one, one)

When I see you girl, I swear that I
Want you always in my life (in my life)
You're the key to find my way to paradise
