Lyrics

[Verse 1]
May not know enough about you, babe
That can only come in time
Only know enough to make you stay
On my mind
[Verse 2]
Though I met you only yesterday
Only for a moment then
Knew I couldn't let you get away
I just had to see you, girl
[Verse 3]
I can be the one you love
Oh, let me be the one you need
Take a look into your heart
Try to find a place for me
[Verse 4]
Can't say I can't live without you, babe
That's just some worn out loser's line
May not know enough about you, babe
But you stayed on my mind
[Verse 5]
I can be the one you love
Oh, let me be the one you need
Take a look into your heart
Try to find a place for me
[Verse 6]
I can be the one you love
Let me be the one you need
Take a look into your heart
Try to find a place for me
[Verse 7]
I can be the one you love
Let me be the one you need
Take a look into your heart
Try to find a place for me
[Verse 8]
I can be the one you love
Let me be the one you need
Take a look into your heart
Try to find a place for me
