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]
