Rainy night and we worked all day We both got jobs 'cause there's bills to pay We got something they can't take away Our love, our lives Close the door, leave the cold outside I don't need nothing when I'm by your side We got something that'll never die Our dreams, our pride My heart beats like a drum (all night) Flesh to flesh, one to one (and it's alright) And I'll never let go cause There's something I know deep inside You were born to be my baby And baby, I was made to be your man We got something to believe in Even if we don't know where we stand Only God would know the reasons But I bet he must have had a plan 'Cause you were born to be my baby And baby, I was made to be your man Light a candle, blow the world away Table for two on a TV tray It ain't fancy, baby that's OK Our time, our way So hold me close better hang on tight Buckle up, baby, it's a bumpy ride We're two kids hitching down the road of life Our world, our fight If we stand side by side (all night) There's a chance we'll get by (and it's alright) And I'll know that you'll be live In my heart 'til the day that I die 'Cause you were born to be my baby And baby, I was made to be your man We got something to believe in Even if we don't know where we stand Only God would know the reasons But I bet he must have had a plan 'Cause you were born to be my baby And baby, I was made to be your man My heart beats like a drum (all night) Flesh to flesh, one to one (and it's alright) And I'll never let go cause There's something I know deep inside 'Cause you were born to be my baby And baby, I was made to be your man We got something to believe in Even if we don't know where we stand Only God would know the reasons But I bet he must have had a plan 'Cause you were born to be my baby And baby, I was made to be your man You were born to be my baby And baby, I was made to be your man
