Ooh boy I love you so never ever, ever 
Gonna let you go once I get my hands on you 
Ooh boy I love you so never ever, ever 
Gonna let you go I hope you feel the same way too 

I watch you walk by my window and I don't even know your name 
Well my heart skips a beat and I feel weak 
When my eyes tell me here he comes again 
There's so many things I wanna to say 
But each time I see you boy, the words just seems 
To fade away infatuation love at first site 
I don't know I just wanna be in his heart
 
Ooh boy I love you so never ever, ever
Gonna let you go once I get my hands on you 
Ooh boy I love you so never ever, ever
Gonna let you go I hope you feel the same way too 

There's talk going round town they say 
You love a girl like me and you put her down 
I hope with all my heart It's not true 
'Cause boy I wanna share my love with you 
I know that it's not right nor is it lady like 
For a girl to fool around and tell a guy how she feels 
But I want you to know deep down In my soul 
I'm experiencing something wonderful and new 

And it's ooh boy I love you so never ever, ever 
Gonna let you go once I get my hands on you 
Ooh boy I love you so never ever, ever 
Gonna let you go I hope you feel the same way too 

But when I go to bed at night I hold my pillow tight 
Pretending that it's you, if I had one wish 
And wishes came true I wish to be able to say these words to you 

Ooh boy I love you so never ever, ever 
Gonna let you go once I get my hands on you 
Ooh boy I love you so never ever, ever 
Gonna let you go I hope you feel the same way too 

Ooh boy I love you so never ever, ever 
Gonna let you go once I get my hands on you 
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh 
Boy I wish I could make this feelin' true
