Sharon Kips Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby please,
baby please don't take your love from me
I am yours forever more,
'till eternity
silently please, listen to the words I say well
I'm not talking just for play, listen to me please

Heaven knows
it's not the way it should be
heaven knows
it's not the way it could be
don't you know
there's no need to leave

Heaven knows
I never wanna leave you
heaven knows
I only wanna please you
don't you know
love is what I need

Down inside,
don't get caught with foolish pride
put all the other things aside,
there's only you and me
believe in us,
we were always meant to be
me for you and you for me,
'till eternity

Heaven knows
it's not the way it should be
heaven knows
it's not the way it could be
don't you know
there's no need to leave

Heaven knows
I never wanna leave you
heaven knows
I only wanna please you
don't you know
love is what I need

Heaven knows
it's not the way it should be
heaven knows
it's not the way it could be
don't you know
there's no need to leave

Heaven knows
it's not the way it should be
heaven knows
it's not the way it could be




don't you know
there's no need to leave
