We got it together, didn't we
We've definitely got our thing together don't we baby
Isn't that nice
I mean really, when really sit and think about it
Isn't it really, really nice

I can easily feel myself slipping
In more and more ways
That super world of my own
Nobody but you and me

We've got it together baby

My first, my last, my everything
And the answer to all my dreams
You're my sun, my moon, my guiding star
My kind of wonderful, that's what you are

I know there's only, only one like you
There's no way they could have made two
You're, you're all I'm living for, your love I'll keep forevermore
You're the first, you're the last, my everything

In you I've found so many things
A love so new, only you could bring
Can't you see it's you? You make me feel this way
You're like a fresh morning dew on a brand new day

I see so many ways that I
Can love you 'til the day I die
You're my reality, yet I'm lost in a dream
You're the first, the last, my everything

I know there's only, only one like you
There's no way they could have made two
Girl, you're my reality, but I'm lost in a dream
You're the first, you're the last, my everything

You and me baby
It's you, and me
And you are the first, the last, my everything
