If I'm not mistaken
My whole universe was shaken when I fell for you
'Cause all the stars collided when I held you in my arms
I knew you were the one

I was searching for perfection babe
But love is the exception that proves all the rules
There's a sensuality that only you have shown to me
That steals my breath away

And by the way baby
If there's something that I care about it's true love
And no matter where you are, you are my true love
And I thank the lucky stars above for true love
There was never any doubt about it
True love

(And it's you love)

Total satisfaction, irresistible attraction
I got no excuse
I live in anticipation of your unforeseen temptations
What you gonna do?

I don't have an explanation
You're the only invitation I cannot refuse
And handsome is as handsome does
And you win hands down baby doll
You got it nailed
And by the way baby

It don't matter where you are, you are my true love
There was never any doubt about it
True love
And I thank the lucky stars above for true love
If there's one thing I can't live without
It's true love
(And it's you love)

If I'm not mistaken
My whole universe was shaken when I fell for you
'Cause all the stars collided when I held you in my arms
I knew you were the one
And by the way baby

If there's something that I care about it's true love
And no matter where you are, you are my true love
And I thank the lucky stars above for true love
There was never any doubt about it
True love

All the tragedy and irony of true love
All the agony and ecstasy of true love
It don't matter where you are, you are my true love
There was never any doubt about it
True love

It don't matter where you are, you are my true love
There was never any doubt about it
True love
And I thank the lucky stars above for true love
If there's one thing I can't live without

It's true love

If there's something that I care about 
It's true love
And no matter where you are, you are my true love
