Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to think that I was happy
But I was just lying to myself
Really believe no one would have me
So I put my poor heart on the shelf
Oh, baby
[Verse 2]
Like a heatwave
Like a sudden wind
Like a slap to the essence of my being
Boy you came in like a sudden wind
You know you blew me away
[Verse 3]
Will you love me?
Will you be the one?
Who is coming, coming to my rescue?
Will you care for me?
Will you come for me?
Will you be the one?
The one who's gonna rescue me
[Verse 4]
I feel like I was born just for you
And I am so glad you came in time
Now that you're here
I just adore you, baby, yeah
To lose this love would be a crime, oh baby
[Verse 5]
Like a heatwave
Like a sudden wind
Like a slap to the essence of my being
Boy you came in like a sudden wind
You know you blew me away
[Verse 6]
Will you love me?
Will you be the one?
Who is coming, coming to my rescue?
Will you care for me?
Will you come for me?
Will you be the one?
The one who's gonna rescue me
[Verse 7]
Will you be the one?
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Will you be the one?
Baby
[Verse 8]
Will you love me?
Will you be the one?
Who is coming, coming to my rescue?
Will you care for me?
Will you come for me?
Will you be the one?
The one who's gonna rescue me
[Verse 9]
Will you love me?
Will you love me?
Will you love me?
Will you love me?
Will you love me?
Will you love me?
Will you love me?
Will you love me?
[Verse 10]
Will you love me?
Will you be the one?
Who is coming, coming to my rescue?
Will you care for me?
Will you come for me?
Will you be the one?
The one who's gonna rescue me
