Well I don't know why I was dreaming about you But I do know that I was dancing without you Then you smiled, and I was lost You fall in love, why count the cost? All I gave to you All you made me do I react when I hear people ask Was it worth it? Yes it's worth living for Was it worth it? Yes it's worth giving more If I'd had my way this would have happened much sooner But until that day it was only a rumor All at once you changed my life And led me in to paradise Where I had to do What I wanted to I react when I hear people ask Was it worth it? Yes it's worth living for Was it worth it? Yes it's worth giving more I reserve the right to live My life this way, and I don't give A damn when I hear people say I'll pay the price that others pay 'Cause it's worth it Yes it's worth living for 'Cause it's worth it Yes it's worth living for All I gave to you All you made me do I react when I hear people ask Was it worth it? Yes it's worth living for Was it worth it? Yes it's worth giving more And I reserve (what?) The right to live (where?) My life this way (how?) I couldn't give A damn when I (what?) Hear people say (who?) I'll pay the price That others pay 'Cause it's worth it Yes it's worth living for 'Cause it's worth it Yes it's worth giving more And it's worth it I don't know why I never thought I'd fall in love I don't know why I don't know why I never thought I'd fall in love I don't know why I don't know why
