It's undeniable That we should be together It's unbelievable How I used to say That I'd fall never The basis is need to know If you don't know Just how I feel Then let me show you now That I'm for real If all things in time Time will reveal One You're like a dream come true Two Just want to be with you Three Girl, it's plain to see That you're the only one for me And four Repeat steps one through three Five Make you fall in love with me If ever I believe my work is done Then I'll start back at one It's so incredible The way things work themselves out And all emotional Once you know what it's all about, hey And undesirable For us to be apart I never would have made it very far 'Cause you know you've got the keys to my heart One You're like a dream come true Two Just want to be with you Three Girl, it's plain to see That you're the only one for me And four Repeat steps one through three Five Make you fall in love with me If ever I believe my work is done Then I'll start back at one Say farewell to the dark of night I see the coming of the sun I feel like a little child Whose life has just begun You came and breathed new life Into this lonely heart of mine You threw out the lifeline Just in the nick of time One You're like a dream come true Two Just want to be with you Three Girl, it's plain to see That you're the only one for me And four Repeat steps one through three Five Make you fall in love with me If ever I believe my work is done Then I'll start back at one
