This is it
This time I know its the real thing
And I cant explain what I'm feeling 
I'm lost for words
I'm in a daze
Stumped and amazed
By your lovin'ways 

This is it
This time I know its the real thing
And I cant explain what I'm feeling 
I'm lost for words
I'm in a daze
Stumped and amazed
By your lovin'ways 

You smile at me 
And suddenly
The wheels of love begin to turn inside of me
We settled low 
I felt a glow 
Right then and there I knew id never let you go 
Cause I know, I know

This is it
This time I know its the real thing
And I cant explain what I'm feeling 
I'm lost for words
I'm in a daze
Stumped and amazed
By your lovin'ways 

This is it
This time I know its the real thing
And I cant explain what I'm feeling 
I'm lost for words
I'm in a daze
Stumped and amazed
By your lovin'ways 

The touch of you
Is something new
Nobody ever made me feel the way you do 
It's heavenly
It's ecstasy
The way you make me feel when you make love to me
Can't you see, can't you see

This is it
This time I know its the real thing
And I cant explain what im feeling 
Im lost for words
Im in a daze
Stumped and amazed
By your lovin'ways 

This is it
This time I know its the real thing
And I cant explain what im feeling 
Im lost for words
Im in a daze
Stumped and amazed
By your lovin'ways
