I used to walk home all alone, it used to be so sad
I used to be all by myself, used to be so bad
Until you
You came along and took me by the hand
Until you
You came along and said that you'd be my man
 
[Chorus:]
Now I'm jumping up and down
Spinning all around because of you 
Babe
I'm as happy as can be and it's definitely
Because of you 
Babe
Just because of you...
 
I used to go to bed at night, wishing I had a friend
Someone to hold and squeeze me tight, one very special friend
Until you
You came along and told me you would be the one 
Until you
You came along and held me in your arms 
 
[Chorus]
 
You are a dream come true
And there's nothing in this world
I wouldn't do 
Baby just for you
 
Bop, ooh woah woah
Bop, Bop ooh woah woah
Bop, ooh woah woah
Bop, Bop ooh woah woah
Bop, ooh woah woah
Bop, Bop ooh woah woah
Bop, ooh woah woah
Bop, Bop ooh woah woah

[Chorus]
 
I love you...
