It seems like only yesterday you were with somebody else Soon as it was over though I had claimed you for myself Didn't take me long before I had moved my stuff to yours Glad to leave the past behind and I'm glad to close the door Because you know I love you Because you know I love you So far it's been so good and it seems we'll stand the test of time You never call me "baby" but you refer to me as "mine" What I like the best is how you can keep me on my toes Staying home with you is better than sticking things up my nose I had that awful feeling That I needed help My life had lost its meaning But you saved me from myself As long as I got you and we can be Together and forever just you and me Well that's swell You sleep with your mouth wide open and you go to the pub alone You only cook from frozen but I don't ever hear you moan You let me lie in bed when you're doing breakfast with the kids Landing on my feet with you I'm so happy this is how we live Because you know I love you Because you know I love you I had that awful feeling That I needed help My life had lost it's meaning But you saved me from myself As long as I got you and we can be Together and forever just you and me Well that's swell I had that awful feeling That I needed help My life had lost its meaning But you saved me from myself As long as I got you and we can be Together and forever just you and me Well that's swell As long as I got you and we can be Together and forever just you and me Well that's swell As long as I got you and we can be Together and forever just you and me Well that's swell
