Lyrics
Seems we’ve weathered
Hard times we’ve been through
In silence, I’ve waited
I missed you (I missed you, too)
‘Cause you, you and I-I-I back together again
Got the world in a spin
‘Cause you, you and I-I-I back together again
Got the world in a spin
It’s all come together
Problems we’ve defeated
And I’m in here heart in hand
You take all that I got and you need it, baby
‘Cause you, you and I-I-I back together
Got the world in a spin
You, you and I-I-I back together
Got the world in a spin
Love will last forever (forever)
We can make it real (got to be real)
Say you’ll leave me never (leave me never)
We can truly feel (what you feel)
I feel like you
Back together
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Younger and wiser
Time has shown the way
We’ve come full circle
To stay (baby)
‘Cause you, you and I-I-I back together again
Got the world in a spin
‘Cause you, you and I-I-I back together again
Got the world in a spin
Truth is the light
It’s the joy that we both share
Make love day and night
It’s so easy to do when you care
Love will last forever (forever)
We can make it real (got to be real)
Say you’ll leave me never (leave me never)
We can truly feel (what you feel)
I feel like you
Back together
Do-do, do-do-do
Do-do, do-do, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Back together again
Do-do, do-do-do
Do-do, do-do, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Back together again
Do-do, do-do-do
Do-do, do-do, yeah
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Back together again
