Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Heart beating strong
I was serious, my love was furious
For you
Only you
Oh, baby
[Verse 2]
Darling, I don't know why
I can't leave you alone
You thrill me to the bone
You're the one obsession
Oh, baby
[Verse 3]
Don't you know it was crucial lovin'?
Crucial
Crucial lovin'
Crucial
[Verse 4]
Chills over me
Different from the rest
I won't settle for less
Hello, won't take no
Oh, baby
[Verse 5]
From now on
You and I
Stood the test of time
Still you're on my mind
Always
Night and day
Oh, baby
[Verse 6]
Don't you know it was crucial lovin'?
Never knew love could be so crucial
Crucial, yeah
Crucial lovin'
Girl, you are my last time
Crucial
Baby, you're the one
[Verse 7]
Don't you know it was crucial lovin'?
From now on
Crucial
Don't you know it was crucial love?
Crucial lovin', down to the, down to the bone
Crucial, hey
[Verse 8]
I have more than told you
Girl I've got to show you
Feelings overload extreme
For the very first time
Girl you are my last time
You have taken over me
[Verse 9]
Don't you know it was crucial lovin'?
Baby, I don't know why
Crucial
You're on my mind every day
Crucial lovin'
Never knew love could be so crucial
Crucial
Ah, girl
[Verse 10]
It was crucial lovin'
It didn't hurt me this way
Crucial
You're the one, you're the one
Crucial lovin'
You're the one, you're the one for me
Crucial
No one else
[Verse 11]
Don't you know it was crucial lovin'?
Girl, this ain't my last chance
Crucial
So I'm beggin' you
Crucial lovin'
It's crucial, it's crucial
Crucial
Yeah
[Verse 12]
Don't you know it was crucial lovin'?
Down to the, down to the, down to the bone
Crucial
Down to the, down to the bone
