I want you, you want me
So let's go, you want me

I want you, you want me
So let's go, you want me

Who do we think we are running 'round all sweaty?
Baby I will wait for you if we could be together

Such a lovely face, such an ugly city
Baby I will wait for you if we could be together forever

I want you, you want me

Who do we think we are running 'round all sweaty?
Baby I will wait for you if we could be together
Such a lovely face, such an ugly city
Baby I will wait for you if we could be together forever

Who do we think we are running 'round all sweaty?
Baby I will wait for you, if we could be together
Such a lovely face, such an ugly city
Baby I will wait for you if we could be together forever

We could be together forever
We could be together forever

We could be together forever
We could be together forever
