Baby please, please don't take your love from me
I am yours for ever more, 'till eternity
Silently please, listen to the words I say
I'm not talking just for play, listen to me please

Heaven knows it's not the way it should be
And heaven knows it' s not the way it could be
Don't you know there's no need to leave
Heaven knows I never want to leave you
Heaven knows I only want to please you
Don't you know love is what I need

Down inside, don't get caught with foolish pride
Blow the other things aside, its only you and me
Believe in us, we were always meant to be
Me for you and you for me, 'till eternity

Heaven knows it's not the way it should be
And heaven knows it's not the way it could be
And don't you know there's no need to leave
Heaven knows I never want to leave you
Heaven knows I only want to please you
Don't you know love is what I need

Heaven knows it's not the way it should be
And heaven knows it's not the way it could be
And don't you know there's no need to leave
Heaven knows it's not the way it should be
And heaven knows it's not the way it could be
And don't you know there's no need to leave
