lyrics

IT'S HARD TO SEE AT THE TIME
CAUSE I GET LOST IN YOUR EYES
WHEN DAY COMES TO AN END
AND I START TO REALIZE
THAT MY NIGHTS WILL STAY LONG
BUT I CANNOT BE WRONG
I KNOW YOUR LOVE IS ALL I'LL EVER NEED

DONT WANT NO OTHER BODY
TO BE NEXT TO MINE
SO SLIDE YOUR BODY CLOSER
AND LET ME TAKE MY TIME
I'M GONNA MAKE YOU SEE, WOMAN
WHAT YOU MEAN TO ME
I KNOW YOUR LOVE IS ALL I'LL EVER NEED

JUST LET ME HEAR YOUR VOICE
FEEL YOUR ARMS AROUND ME TIGHT
AND WITH YOUR HAND IN MINE
TO LEAD ME THROUGH THE NIGHT
LONELINESS NEVER BOTHERED ME
YOU LEFT ME ON MY KNEES
I KNOW YOUR LOVE IS ALL I'LL EVER NEED

I'VE DONE MY SHARE OF WAITING
AND SLEEPING ON MY OWN
I'M TIRED OF YOU LEAVING
AND ENDING MY NIGHTS ALL ALONE

GONNA LET YOU KNOW
BEFORE YOU HAVE TO GO
RECONSIDER NOW
LET ME LOVE YOU
SHOW ME HOW

CAUSE AS THE NIGHT IS DARK
AND THE DAY IS LIGHT
NEED SOMEONE TO LIFT ME UP
SOMEONE TO TREAT ME RIGHT

WHEN I'M MISSING YOU
ARE YOU MISSING ME?
I’M NOT GONNA BEG AND PLEAD
BUT HOW CAN'T YOU SEE
THAT YOUR LOVE IS ALL I'LL EVER NEED

WITH YOUR LIPS PRESSED TO MINE
YOU HAVE ME WITHOUT A DOUBT
YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU SWEET WOMAN
I DONT NEED TO SPELL IT OUT
NO MATTER HOW I'VE TRIED
WITHOUT YOU I'M UNSATISFIED
I KNOW YOUR LOVE IS ALL I'LL EVER NEED

DONT SAY IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE
JUST COME AND TAKE MY HAND
YOU CAN WRITE IT DOWN AND READ IT TO ME
BUT I AIN'T GONNA UNDERSTAND
I'LL NEVER BELIEVE A CLAIM
THAT YOU DONT FEEL THE SAME
I KNOW YOUR LOVE IS ALL I'LL EVER NEED
