By Design

My sweetheart
Oh you fit so well into my space
Boom, crash, bombs away
My little girl
Don’t you know that you have such a sweet way
About you, over me
You’ll see
What you’re doing to this boy and his love for you
You know how these things do start
And end by design of the heart
Know how these things do...
One more night to remember our love
The way that I want
Just the way that I should
Just a little light on in the distance, my love
Is all that you leave
All that you’re giving to me
You’ll see
What you’re doing to this boy and his love for you
You know how these things do start
And end by design of the heart
Know how these things do start
And end by design of the heart
Know how these things go
These things go
I didn’t see this
I didn’t see it
Didn’t see it coming
Didn’t see it coming tonight
I didn’t see it
I didn’t see it
I didn’t see this coming
Didn’t see this coming tonight
You’ll see
What you’re doing to this boy and his love for you
You know how these things do start
And end by design of the heart
Know how these things do start
And end by design of the heart
Know how these things go
