Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You were meant for me
No one else could come between this love, I know
'Cause I'll never let you go
[Verse 2]
You and me, it seems
Never have a problem we can't overcome
'Cause you'll always be the one
[Verse 3]
Never thought I'd be so happy
Loving you has made me feel so fine
I can see my friends turn green with envy
Every time I tell them I'm so glad you're mine
[Verse 4]
You were meant for me
No one else could come between this love, I know
'Cause I'll never let you go
[Verse 5]
You and me, it seems
Never have a problem we can't overcome
'Cause you'll always be the one, yeah
[Verse 6]
Never did one thing to hurt me
You always understood my ways
If I could, I'd stay right here beside you
With your hand in mine, makin' love for days
[Verse 7]
You were meant for me
No one else could come between this love, I know
'Cause I'll never let you go
You were meant for me
