With the coming and going of the tides
Everyone that sees it, everyone that knows
Because my love can't hide
Every sun that sets, every sun that rise
And every moon that shines
I feel like a winner on my own damn show
Because you are a sweepstakes prize
Loving you is easy
'Cause the way you make me feel
Loving you is simple
That's the way is supposed to be
Baby with you by my side
I feel so young and free
I can love you on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
Woo-ooh
