Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If you're foolin', only foolin'
All I ask is, why?
If you're playin', all I'm sayin'
Is feelings sure can lie
[Verse 2]
If you're lyin', keep on lyin'
Don't tell the truth, don't you dare (Don't you dare)
You can't drop me (Uh-uh)
'Cause you still got me (Uh-huh)
After takin' me way up there
[Chorus]
If I ever lose this Heaven
If I ever, ever, ever lose this Heaven
Whoa, I'll never be the same
[Chorus]
If I ever lose this Heaven
If I ever, ever, ever lose this Heaven
Whoa, I'll never be the same
[Verse 3]
When you're kind, extra kind
Then suddenly, you're cross
You're so moody, you get to me
Still can't turn you off
You're fascinating, more fascinating
Than the dark side of the moon
You're so exciting that I'm rewriting
The book of love called you
[Chorus]
If I ever lose this Heaven
If I ever, ever, ever lose this Heaven
Whoa, I'll never be the same
[Chorus]
If I ever lose this Heaven
If I ever, ever, ever lose this Heaven
Whoa, I'll never be the same
[Outro]
If I ever lose this Heaven
If I ever, ever, ever lose this Heaven
Whoa, I'll never be the same
