I was just passing through
Wasn't staying long till I met you
And when you said ?hello? my heart just knew
What else could I do
Stand right here and fall in love with you
Girl you're almost too good to be true

Now we're swayin' to the music
And your body's soft and warm
Flowin' with the feelin'
Here in my arms

I just want to love you
I just want to hold you tight
Lay right here with you all night
I just want to love you

What good is life if you
Don't take a chance on love a time or two
And I want to take my chance with you
Cause it could be so sweet
As long as you're close to me
There's nothing in this world we couldn't be

Now we're swayin' to the music
And your body's soft and warm

Flowin' with the feelin'
Here in my arms

I just want to love you
I just want to hold you tight
Lay right here with you all night
I just want to love you
