Fortunately you have got Someone who relies on you We started out as friends But the thought of you just caves me in the symptoms are so deep It is much too late to turn away We started out as friends Sign you name Across my heart I want you to be my baby Sign your name Across my heart I want you to be my lady Time I'm sure will bring Disappointments in so many things It seems to be the way When your gambling cards on love you play I'd rather be in hell with you baby Than in cool heaven It seems to be the way Sign your name Across my heart I want you to be my baby Sign your name Across my heart I want you to be my lady Birds never look into the sun Before the day is done But oh the light shines brighter On a peaceful day Stranger blue leave us alone We don't want to deal with you We'll shed our stains showering In the room that makes the rain All alone with you Makes the butterflies in me arise Slowly we make love And the earth rotates To our dictates Slowly we make love Sign your name Across my heart I want you to be my baby Sign your name
