How, how can it be That a love carved out of caring Fashioned by fate could suffer so hard From the games played once too often But making mistakes is a part of life's imperfection Born of the years Is it so wrong to be human after all? Drawn into the stream of undefined illusion Those diamond dreams, they can't disguise the truth That there is something about you, baby, so right I wouldn't be without you, baby tonight If ever our love was concealed No one can say that we didn't feel A million things and a perfect dream of life (gone) fragile but free We remain tender together If not so in love And it's not so wrong, we're only human after all These changing years, they add to your confusion Oh and you need to hear the time that told the truth That there is something about you, baby so right Don't want to be without you, baby tonight Because there's something about you, baby, so right I couldn't live without you, baby, tonight And that there's something about you, yeah And I couldn't be without you, tonight
