I used to think that I wasn't fine enough
And I used to think that I wasn't wild enough
But I won't waste my time tryin' to figure out why you playin' games
What's this all about
And I can't believe,
Your hurting me
I met your girl, what a difference
What you see in her
You ain't see in me
But I guess it was all just make-believe

Oh, love
Never knew what I was missing
But I knew once we start kissin'
I found, love
Never knew what I was missing
But I knew once we start kissin'
I found you

Now you're gone, what am I gonna do
I'm so oo empty
My heart, my soul can't go on
Go on, baby, without you
My rainy days fade away when you come around please baby
Why you go so far away
Why you go

Oh, love
Never knew what I was missing
But I knew once we start kissin'
I found, love
Never knew what I was missing
But I knew once we start kissin'
I found you

I found you
Yeah
Oh

Now go on, what am I gonna do
I'm so so empty
My heart, my soul can't go on
Go on baby without you,
Rainy days fade away
When you come around
Say you're here to stay
With me, boy
I don't want you to leave me
I need you

Oh, love
Never knew what I was missing
But I knew once we start kissin'
I found, love
Never knew what I was missing
But I knew once we start kissin'
I found you
