Here we are
Face to face
We forget, time and place
Hold me now 
Don't let go
Though it hurts and we both know 
The time we spend together's gonna fly
And everything you do to me 
Is gonna feel so right
Baby when you're loving me 
I feel like I could cry
'Cause there's nothing I can do
To keep from loving you, no no no

Here we are 
All alone
Trembling hearts, beating strong
Reaching out, a breathless kiss 
I never thought could feel like this
I want to stop the time from passing by
I want to close my eyes and feel 
Your lips are touching mine
Baby when you're close to me
I want you more each time
And there's nothing I can do
To keep from loving you

There's nothing I can do
I'm helpless in your arms 
Oh baby what you do
I'm in love, this is it
There's no turning back this time
No no no

Here we are
Once again
But this time we're only friends 
Funny world
Sometimes lies
Become the game, when loves the prize
And though no one knows what's going on inside 
And all the love I feel for you 
Is something I should hide
When I have you close to me
The feelings so sublime 
That there's nothing I can do 
To keep from loving you, no no no
Can't keep from loving you baby
No no no
That there's nothing I can do my baby
To keep from loving you
