I Was Born To Love You
Timeless Legend Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(I was born to love you
For the rest of my life)
Cause when we first met
I made a pact with myself
That we never, never part
Cause your love gives me inspiration
And so much vitality
I'd be a fool to let your love go
Cause your love has set me free
Now I was born to love you
Love you with my heart and my soul
And I said to myself
I said to myself
That I never, never
Never let you go
Nah baby
Born to love you baby
With all my heart and soul
Never let you go
I'm gonna love you baby
Let me hold you in my arms
(I was born to love you
For the rest of my life)
I was born to love you
Love you with my heart and my soul
I say to myself
I say to myself that I
Never
Never
Let you go
No no no
(I was born to love you
for the rest of my life
I was born to kiss you
For the rest of my life)
(I was born to love you
for the rest of my life
I was born to love you
For the rest of my life)




(ooh, ooh, for the rest of my life)
(ooh, ooh, for the rest of my life)

A Dave Raistrick discovery in Columbus, Ohio back in 1980 - sold it to Soul Sam/Arthur Fenn... went on to be a MASSIVE Modern Soul anthem.
