Tamia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For a long time, things seem to change
It's been said that nothing good lasts forever
But this love gets better every day
We get all excited inside
Every time that we get along
He still got love in his eyes
Still feels like the first time we met
That I kissed and I told you I loved you
We still run around like teenagers
Even though we're grown and married with kids (and we still)
We still talk on the phone for hours when I'm away
He still writes letters and sends me flowers every other day (yeah)
The question everybody asks is how we make it last
I tell them I still, he still, we still
Now I still smile in the morning
When I realize I'm still in his arms
We know everything about each other
But we still keep holding on yeah
We're never gonna break up, we'll be always there to make up
As long as we stick together, we'll climb higher
I'm gonna ride with him to the wire
Our love is never gonna end
We on fire
Still feels like the first time we met
And I kissed and I told you I loved you
We still run around like teenagers
Even though we're grown and married with kids (and we still)
We still talk on the phone for hours when I'm away
He still writes letters and sends me flowers every other day
The question everybody asks is how we make it last
I tell them I still, he still, we still
We go through problems just like everybody else
But I really don't mind (I don't mind), 'cause it makes us keep it fresh
What's sadder than an argument is the thought we may have never been
He is my lover, my baby's father, my lifetime partner and my friend
Still the man of my dreams
He's still, still the man for me
And I'm still in love with him, so deeply
I think I'll sing it again, he's still
Still the man of my dreams
He's still, still the man for me
And I'm still in love with him, deep, deeply
Still feels like the first time we met
That I kissed and I told you I loved you
We still run around like teenagers
Even though we're grown and married with kids
We still talk on the phone for hours when I'm away
He still writes letters and sends me flowers every other day
The question everybody asks is how we make it last
I tell them I still, he still, we still (and we still)
Still feels like the first time we met
And I kissed and I told you I loved you
We still run around like teenagers
Even though we're grown and married with kids
We still talk on the phone for hours when I'm away
He still writes letters and sends me flowers every other day
The question everybody asks is how we make it last
I tell them I still, he still, we still (and we still)
