Teen Team Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(to live without you)
(would only mean heartbreak for me)
The moment I wake up before I put on my make-up
I say a little (prayer for you)
while combing my hair now and wondering what dress to wear now
I say a little (prayer for you)
(Forever and ever you'll stay in my heart) ever, ever
(and I will love you)
(forever and ever we never will part) ever, ever
(oh how I'll love you)
(together, together that's how it must be) together, together
(to live without you)
(would only mean heartbreak for me)
I run for the bus dear but while riding it I think of us dear
I say a little (prayer for you)
at work I just take time and all through my coffee break time
I say a little (prayer for you)
(Forever and ever you'll stay in my heart) ever, ever
(and I will love you)
(forever and ever we never will part) ever, ever
(oh how I'll love you)
(together, together that's how it must be) together, together
(to live without you)
(would only mean heartbreak for me) oh oh oh
(Forever and ever you'll stay in my heart) ever, ever
(and I will love you)
(forever and ever we never will part) ever, ever
(oh how I'll love you)
(together, together that's how it must be) together, together
(to live without you)
(would only mean heartbreak for me) nobody but me
My darling believe me
for me there is no one but you, please love me too
I'm in love with you, answer my prayer baby
say you love me too, answer my prayer baby, eh eh eah
(Forever and ever you'll stay in my heart) ever, ever
(and I will love you)
(forever and ever we never will part) ever, ever
(oh how I'll love you)
(together, together that's how it must be) together, together
(to live without you)
(would only mean heartbreak for me) nobody but me
My darling believe me
for me there is no one, no one but you, please love me too
this is my prayer, answer my prayer baby
this is my prayer, answer my prayer
I'm in love with you, this is my prayer
answer my prayer
