Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I can't if I can't
Have you
Then baby I don't wanna be
With no-one else
If I can't if I can't
Have you
Then baby I would rather be
[Verse:]
She is the meaning of beauty
Her spirit and her style consumes me
From the very first time I saw her
She captured me within her power
[Pre-Chorus:]
All it took was just one look look
Before I knew it I was hooked hooked
Put my loving to the test test
And now I must confess
All it took was just one look look
Before I knew it I was hooked hooked
Put my loving to the test test
And now I must confess
[Chorus:]
[Verse 2:]
Woman I would die without you
Cause I love everything about you
Lady you are my very existence
And girl I say this with persistence
Cause I know
[Pre-Chorus:]
[Chorus 3x]
