Born To Be Together
Ronettes (the) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The moment I saw you,
My heart knew it was forever
You touched me
And I swear I vowed then and there that I'd never
No I'd never want somebody else to hold me
Let another's arms enfold me
Never ever
Want nobody but you

And then you kissed me and whispered tenderly
Darling I love you, I love you, I love you
And I knew we were born to be together
We were born to be together
Baby, we were born to be together

I never said a word, but I know you heard me sighin'
You held me to your heart
And I almost started cryin'
Almost cryin'
Baby, I'm so glad you found me
Keep your lovin' arms around me
Say you want me just the way I want you

And then please kiss me and softly answer me
Darling I love you, I love you, I love you
I know we were born to be together
We were born to be together
Baby, we were born to be together
Baby, we were born to be together
Baby, we were born
To be together

Estelle... my favourite. Such a classy group but like everyone knows it, her class and grace was unmatchable..✨✨✨

Bob

The Ronettes had great stage presence. Their act was as much visual as vocal: three beautiful women who were dancers as well as singers.

San2507

Of course. The ronettes were more elegant but more confident with the dressing.

jennifersenn

Estelle could have been a real star on her own after the group broke up if she could have signed with Motown or some other big record producer. She deserved sooo much more than she got in the end.

I really love Ronnie's voice.

Andraste Reminiec

Ronnie's voice sends chills down my spine!

harryl5

Tommy Truth

It is one of a kind. Pure talent.

Allen Kracalik

Saw her in person at a Chicago club AND THEN SHE KISSED ME--if you get a chance to see her, stay down front where she can get her hands on you. More than a few spinal chills guaranteed.

San2507

She has a very beautiful voice. Sadly she had a awful life with Phil.
