1, 2, 3, 4!
Everything he does better
Than anything ordinary
Everything he wants he gets
Cos everything he does
Is kinda necessary
Though I believe in love, tell me
Can anything last forever
If life can live up to love
Then hand on my heart
I'm never saying never
Cos,
You're gonna make me, make me love you
Nothing at all, nothing that I do
The promise I made, the promise I made
Is starting to fade, starting to fade, Babe
You're gonna make me, make me love you
Nothing at all that I cannot do
The promise I made, the promise I made
Is starting to fade, starting to fade
Maybe next time I'll take a ride on by
When I feel you near
Cos I can't play this like I'm meant to now
My Aladdin's lamp is down and I got a fear
Oh baby right here
Giving up just looking into windows,
I've had enough of wishing I'd found you, baby don't you know
I've had as much as I can take of falling, yeah
I got a lot to learn 'bout riding through
Cos,
You're gonna make me, make me love you
Nothing at all, nothing that I do
The promise I made, the promise I made
Is starting to fade, starting to fade, Babe
You're gonna make me, make me love you
Nothing at all that I cannot do
The promise I made, the promise I made
Is starting to fade, starting to fade
Here I am, walking Primrose
Wondering when I'm gonna see you again
So here I am, walking Primrose
Wondering when I'm gonna see you again
Got my hands all ready to touch your soul
I'm gonna get the energy to wire me close to you
Got my eyes on the prize I see
Are you watching me baby
Cos my heart is turning to solid gold
And my head is saying honey too good to be true
But one look in your glittered eyes
Power's failing me every time
Cos,
You're gonna make me, make me love you
Nothing at all, nothing that I do
The promise I made, the promise I made
Is starting to fade, starting to fade, Babe
You're gonna make me, make me love you
Nothing at all that I cannot do
The promise I made, the promise I made
Is starting to fade, starting to fade
Maybe it's not that hard to know you
Maybe we'll make it up and go
Maybe we'll work things out
There's only one way up and one way down I know
If you wanna convince me, start again
If you wanna be with me in my arms
Cos,
You're gonna make me, make me love you
Nothing at all, nothing that I do
The promise I made, the promise I made
Is starting to fade, starting to fade, Babe
You're gonna make me, make me love you
Nothing at all that I cannot do
The promise I made, the promise I made
Is starting to fade, starting to fade, Babe
