Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Baby, I'm so glad you're here
Baby, I've got something to say, my dear
Baby, yeah, I'm so glad you're mine
[Verse 2]
Whoa, baby, why did it take so long?
Whoa, baby, only made my love grow strong
Baby, yeah, yeah, I'm so glad you're mine
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, hey
When darkness gather 'round me
And friends forsaken me
I know you'll never let me down
I know you'll never let me down
[Verse 3]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Baby, I'm not gonna leave you alone
Baby, oh, hop on and I'll give you what you want
Baby, yeah, so glad you're mine
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey
When darkness gather 'round me
And friends forsaken me
I know you'll never let me down
I know you'll never let me down
[Bridge]
Woo, hoo, boy, oh, yeah, hey
You'll never say
Baby, baby, I'm gonna turn my back and walk away
Baby, baby
I'll see you another day, hey
[Refrain]
Baby, baby, I'm so, I'm so
Thankful for your love, angel
Thankful for your love, every day
[Outro]
Glad you're mine
Aww, hey, hey, hey
Yeah, hey, hey, thankful for your love
