Tryin' to say I'm sorry, didn't mean to break your heart And find you waitin' up by the light of day There's a lot I want to tell you, but I don't know where to start And I don't know what I'd do if you walked away Ooh, baby I tried to make it, I just got lost along the way But every time I look at you, No matter what I'm goin' through, it's easy to see And every time I hold you, the things I never told you, Seem to come easily Cause you're everything to me I never really wanted to let you get inside my heart I wanted to believe this would soon be ending I thought it wouldn't matter, if it all just came apart But now I realize I was just pretending Ooh, baby, I know I hurt you, but you can still believe in me But every time I look at you, no matter what I'm goin' through, It's easy to see And every time I hold you, the things I never told you, Seem to come easily Cause you're everything to me It's gonna take a little time to show you, Just what you mean to me, oh yeah It seems the more I get to know you, the more I need to make you see You're everything I need, yeah Oho, I need ya, I need ya, I need ya... Ooh, baby, baby, baby, I know I hurt you, But you can still believe in me But every time I look at you, no matter what I'm goin' through, It's easy to see And every time I hold you, the things I never told you, Seem to come easily Cause you're everything to me You're everything to me, you're everything to me
