Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love, love, love
Why'd you take so long to come to me?
Oh baby
And love, love, your love
Tell me, were you hiding from me
All the time?
[Verse 2]
Each time I tried to find someone to take your place
It was all in vain
No, their lips were never quite the same
No, baby
When I was kissing someone new
Deep inside I was missing you
[Verse 3]
Ah baby
You made me fall in love with you
Now I don't know just what I'm gonna do
Ah honey
I looked out into empty space
And all I saw was your sweet face
[Verse 4]
Love, love, love
You can't imagine what you do to me
Oh baby
And love, your love
Every time you smile, it goes through me
All the time
[Verse 5]
Day by day, I'm falling more in love with you
And that's no lie
Cross my heart and, honey, I hope to die
'Cause I'm not trying to mislead you
Believe me, girl, I really need you
[Verse 6]
Oh baby
You made me fall in love with you
Now I don't know just what I'm gonna do
Ah honey
I looked out into empty space
All I saw was your sweet face
Ah baby
You made me fall in love with you
Now I don't know just what I'm gonna do
Ah honey
I looked out into empty space
All I saw was your sweet face
[Verse 7]
Love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
