Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hey, hey, hey, hey, ooh

Oh yeah

Well alright

Hey, hey

[Verse 2]

What is this feeling coming over me, hey?

I'm taken back in disbelief

Is this really me, ha, in the mirror I see

Staring back at me?

Could it be a new reflection of a woman complete?

[Verse 3]

All of a sudden, I'm so carefree, yeah (Well, alright)

Your love is doing something strange to me (Well, alright)

I got a new flame, ha, haven't been the same

Something in me's changed, rearranged

And I feel that I've been saved

[Verse 4]

You got me feeling

Like you're that something I've been missing

Everything's heaven

'Cause life with you has been a blessing

[Verse 5]

(Ooh ooh, ooh ooh)

I got it bad in a serious way

Oh yeah (Ooh ooh, ooh ooh)

Your love has brought me to a higher place

Oh yeah

[Verse 6]

Who knew? Who knew?

It'd be you to restore my faith

Everyday, I'm amazed

And it makes me wanna get down and pray

[Verse 7]

(Pray, pray)

Makes me wanna get down and pray

(Pray, pray)

Said, it makes me wanna get down and pray

[Verse 8]

Yeah

[Verse 9]

I've kept some company I shouldn't have (Well, alright)

Made some mistakes but that's in the past (Well, alright)

I'm professing here to you proof that I am through

I'm coming clean, now I can breathe

And I finally believe, yeah

[Verse 10]

You got me thinking

I'll be alright and you're the reason

Ooh, I can feel it

We're moving in a new direction

[Verse 11]

(Ooh ooh, ooh ooh)

I got it bad in a serious way

Oh yeah (Ooh ooh, ooh ooh)

Your love has brought me to a higher place

Oh yeah

[Verse 12]

(Who knew? Who knew?)

It'd be you to restore my faith

Everyday, I'm amazed

And it makes me wanna get down and pray

[Verse 13]

(Pray, pray)

Makes me wanna get down and pray

(Pray, pray)

Said, it makes me wanna get down and pray

[Verse 14]

(Pray, pray)

Makes me wanna get down and pray

(Pray, pray)

Makes me wanna get down and pray

[Verse 15]

Where would I be, where would I be

Without you by my side?

Where would I be, where would I be

Without you standing by?

[Verse 16]

Makes me wonder (Pray)

Makes me need to (Pray)

When I'm feeling low and all alone

You're the light in my day, yeah

[Verse 17]

(Ooh ooh, ooh ooh)

I got it bad in a serious way

Oh yeah (Ooh ooh, ooh ooh)

Your love has brought me to a higher place

Oh yeah

[Verse 18]

(Who knew? Who knew?)

It'd be you to restore my faith

Everyday, I'm amazed

'Cause it makes me wanna get down and pray

[Verse 19]

(Pray, pray)

'Cause it makes me wanna get down and pray

(Pray, pray)

Makes me wanna get down and pray

[Verse 20]

(Pray, pray)

Woo

(Pray, pray)

Wanna lift my hands up and pray

'Cause every time I'm hearing your name

I wanna reach out and rejoice

Heavenly sound of your voice

Yeah

[Verse 21]

(Pray, pray)

Hey

(Pray, pray)

Alright

That's it
