Lyrics
Have I ever told you how good it feels to hold you?
It isn’t easy to explain
And though I’m really trying, I think I may start crying
My heart can’t wait another day
When you kiss me, I’ve just got to say
come on, baby
(Baby, I love you) ooh-wee, baby
Baby, I love only you
Woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh
I can’t live without you, I love everything about you
I can’t help it if I feel this way
Oh, I’m so glad I found you, I want my arms around you
I love to hear you call my name
Oh, tell me that you feel the same
come on, baby
(Baby, I love you) ooh-wee, baby
Baby, I love only you
Woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh
Come on, baby (baby, I love you)
Come on, baby (baby, I love you)
Ooh-wee, baby (baby, I love you)
Come on, baby (baby, I love you)
Ooh-wee, baby (baby, I love you)
Ooh (baby, I love you)
Ooh (baby, I love you)
(Baby, I love you) ooh
(Baby, I love you)
