Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, everyday, it's a gettin' closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
A love like yours will
Will surely come my way
[Verse 2]
Yeah, everyday, seems a little faster
All my friends
They say, go on up and ask her
Love like yours will
Surely come my way
[Verse 3]
Oh, everyday (Everyday)
Seems a little stronger
And everyday (Ah)
Pass a little longer
Come what may
Do you ever long for
True love from me?
[Verse 4]
Like I long for your name
Said everyday
Seems a little closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours will
Surely come my way
[Verse 5]
Yes, a love like yours will
Surely come my way (Ooh)
Everyday, yeah (Everyday)
Everyday, huh (Ooh, everyday)
Each and every day, yeah (Ooh, everyday)
[Verse 6]
Everyday it seems a little stronger (Ooh, everyday)
You know it lasts a little longer (Everyday)
[Verse 7]
Come what may
Do you ever long for
True love from me?
Like I long for your name
I said, everyday seems a little closer
Goin' faster than a roller coaster
Love like yours
Will surely come my way (Ooh)
Come my way (Ooh)
[Verse 8]
Ah, everyday (Ooh)
I say, everyday, babe (Ooh, everyday)
Everyday, everyday (Everyday)
Ah, everyday, everyday, everyday (Everyday)
Oh, everyday, everyday, everyday (Ooh)
Everyday, everyday (Everyday)
Everyday, everyday (Everyday)
