Lyrics

Never knew the closing of a door
Could open up a heart
Since the day we met I've needed you (Needed you)
In my life
To do and say the things that I
Needed to feel and hear
I'm just
Helplessly in love (Ooh)
Don't know what to do, I'm
Helplessly in love
And the love in my heart
Is for you
I've always been a man who took control
But now I'm so helpless
Can't find the nerve, I get emotional (In my heart)
When you're around
And it's hard for me to tell you or
To show you what I feel
I'm just
Helplessly in love
(Helpless) (Ooh)
Don't know what to do, I'm
Helplessly in love
And the love in my heart
Is for you, baby
I just don't understand
(No, I don't understand)
Why my feelings are so confused (Ooh)
When my mind asks
(Why I love you like I do)
Ah
Helplessly in love (Ooh)
Helplessly in love
Helplessly in love (Ooh)
Helplessly in love
I just don't understand
Why my feelings are so confused
When my mind asks
Ah
So I picked out these three words that best
Describe the way I feel
I'm just...
Helplessly in love (Ooh)
Ooh, don't know what to do, I'm
Helplessly in love
Oh no, don't know what to do, I'm
Helplessly in love
And the love in my heart
Is for you
Helplessly in love
(Baby, baby, don't know what to do, I'm)
Helplessly in love
And the love in my heart
Is for you
