Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was born, born to love you
I was born, born to love you
[Verse 2]
Bust through the door said, "What's your name?"
Looking for somebody and you match the shame
Now don't lie
Don't lie
[Verse 3]
You've seen the television and you know what's up
And the world's going crazy and you might be stuck
So don't lie
So don't lie
[Verse 4]
I said, here is where I'll be living till my time's up
Yeah, I found someone to keep my head up
Yeah, trading darkness for the dawn
[Verse 5]
Mmm, I was born, born to love you
I was born, born to love you
[Verse 6]
Lost in stars since she was a girl
She dreamt of a place, of a better world
That felt like sunlight
[Verse 7]
Tired of the days living in the dark
She ran to the place where the wild things are
It felt right
'Cause it felt right
[Verse 8]
She said, "Here is where I'll be living till my time's up, yeah"
Found my people now I'm made up, yeah
Always dark before the dawn (Always dark before the dawn)
[Verse 9]
I was born, born to love you
I was born, born to love you
[Verse 10]
I said, here is where I'll be living till my time's up
I said, here I've found my people now I'm made up, yeah
[Verse 11]
I was born (I was born in the city, born and raised)
(I was born in the city, all my friends are here)
(I was born in the city, born and raised)
(I was born in the city, all my friends are here)
I was born to say
No, ooh-ooh, ooh
