Lyrics

When you love me like that
My beautiful lover, I still remember
We used to be young once
I loved you even then
I wanted to tell you, but I was just a little girl, hm
But now you are mine
And it's like we both have been on Fantasy Island
Together once gain
As long as you're where I am
There's nowhere better in the world
Ooh honey, honey, hold me tight
Make me believe in love tonight
And in the morning
Wake me up while you whisper sweet words that I love
You turn me up, you turn me up
When you love me like that
You make a believer, I have no doubt (when you love me like that)
The things that you do with love
I could never give it up (I just couldn't give it up)
The things that excite me, you seem to know them all
You really must like me 'cause every time you call
You never stop saying the prettiest of pretty words
Sugar, honey, sweetie, baby
You always know just what to say when I'm afraid
You take me and hold me (honey) and chase the blues away
And then you tell me the sweetest things I've ever heard
Ooh, no, no one loves like you
I dream about us all night through
And in the morning when we rise
I know that look of love's there in your eyes
Turn me on, you turn me out when you love me like that
You make a believer, I have no doubt (when you love me like that)
The things that you do with love
I could never give it up (I just couldn't give it up)
When you love, when you love, when you love (when you love me like that)
Couldn't give it up, boy (when you love me like that)
Calling your name
Ooh, when you love, when you love, when you love
When you love me like that I could never (I just couldn't give it up)
Never, never, never, never
Down on my knees for your love, boy
When you love me like that
When you love me like that
Oh, when you love me like that
I couldn't stand it, I could never live without it
I just couldn't give it up
When you love, when you love, when you love
When you love me like that
Ooh, baby
When you love me like that
Never, never, never, never give it up
I just couldn't give it up
