Met you in a cafe at a table meant for two
You were sitting by your lonesome
When I sat down with you
You tried hard not to show it
But I couldn't help, but see
That you wore your broken heart out on your sleeve
And your loneliness could not disguise
The beauty and the charm
Thought if I ever get you, shattered lady, in my arms

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna rock you baby to sleep
I'm gonna make you crazy over me
I'm gonna hold you like you've never been held before
And love you till you tell me you can't love anymore
I'm gonna shake your emotion right down to your soul
Then I'm gonna love you all over and out of control
If this is how love is suppose to feel
Baby, I know I've fallen head over heels
I'm gonna rock you baby

Over open conversation and a bottle of red wine
You said this world is full of users and I know that I've had mine
We danced a little slow dance until they closed that cafe down
You said what would be the chances
That tonight I finally found someone who makes me feel like my life is just begun
I said girl, believe in me and I'll show you how it's done

[Chorus]
