Lyrics

[Verse 1]

1, 2, 3, 4

Everythin' he does, better than anythin' ordinary

Everythin' he wants, he gets, 'cause everythin' he does is kinda necessary

I believe in love, tell me, can anythin' last forever

If life can live up to love with a hand on my heart, I'm never sayin' never

[Verse 2]

You're gonna make me, make me love you

Nothin' at all, nothin' that I do

Promise I made, promise I made

Is startin' to fade, startin' to fade (Fade)

You're gonna make me, make me love you

Nothin' at all, that I cannot do

Promise I made, promise I made

Is startin' to fade, startin' to fade

[Verse 3]

Maybe next time I'll take a ride on by

I wanna feel you near

'Cause I can't play this like I'm into now

My Aladdins lamp is down

And I gotta fear, oh baby, right here

Givin' up, just looking into windows, yeah

I've had enough of wishin', I've found you

Baby, don't you know?

I've had as much as I can take of fallin', yeah

Got a lot to learn 'bout ridin' through

[Verse 4]

'Cause you're gonna make me, make me love you

Nothin' at all, nothin' that I do

Promise I made, promise I made

Is startin' to fade, startin' to fade (Fade)

You're gonna make me, make me love you

Nothin' at all, that I cannot do

Promise I made, promise I made

Is startin' to fade, startin' to fade

[Verse 5]

Here I am

Walkin' primrose

Wonderin' when I'm gonna see you again

So here I am

Walkin' primrose

Wonderin' when I'm gonna see you again

[Verse 6]

I got my hands all ready to touch your soul

I'm gonna get the energy to wire me close to you

Got my eyes on the prize I see

Are you watching me, baby?

'Cause my heart is turnin' to solid gold

And my head is sayin': honey too good to be true

Oh, one look in your glitter eyes

How else tellin' me every time

[Verse 7]

'Cause you're gonna make me, make me love you

Nothin' at all, nothin' that I do

Promise I made, promise I made

Is startin' to fade, startin' to fade (Fade)

You're gonna make me, make me love you

Nothin' at all, that I cannot do

Promise I made, promise I made

Is startin' to fade, startin' to fade

[Verse 8]

Maybe it's not that hard to know you

Maybe we'll make it up and go

Maybe we'll work things out

There's only one way up and one way down, I know

If you wanna convince me, start again

If you wanna be with me in my arms

[Verse 9]

'Cause you're gonna make me, make me love you

Nothin' at all, nothin' that I do

Promise I made, promise I made

Is startin' to fade, startin' to fade (Fade)

You're gonna make me, make me love you

Nothin' at all, that I cannot do

Promise I made, promise I made

Is startin' to fade, startin' to fade (Fade)

[Verse 10]

(Maybe next time I'll take a ride on by)

(I wanna feel you near)

(Maybe next time I'll take a ride on by)
