Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Do I continue living by myself
Living the single life till my last breath
You know I've found someone to fulfil all my needs
Why do we have to question how it should be, yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
So why do we try to let love pass us by
Worst than how we feel, the love is not for real
[Verse 4]
Do I continue living by myself
Living the single life till my last breath
I know I've found someone to fulfil all my needs
Why do we have to question how it should be, yeah
[Verse 5]
So why do we try to let love pass us by
Worst than how we feel, the love is not for real
So why do we try to let love pass us by
Worst than how we feel, the love is not for real
[Verse 6]
Oh no
[Verse 7]
Why Uh
[Verse 8]
Might have, might have, might have
[Verse 9]
Is right there underneath your nose
Look to your left
Look to your right
Open your eyes
[Verse 10]
How we feel
That it's not real
That it's not real
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no ...
