It was the truth That fell from these lips It blinded us And then the darkness left So I am yours now Respectfully I am yours now Truthfully It burnt the stain Left on my mind Our hearts, our hearts, they beat A quarter tone apart Cause I am yours now Respectfully (Why can’t I do it? You complete me) I am yours now Truthfully (Why can’t I do it? You complete me) Our kind is hard to find And if it will be It will be with you I am yours now Respectfully (Why can’t I do it? You complete me) I am yours now Truthfully (Why can’t I do it? You complete me)
