BOTH:
Never in my wildest days did I think I'd find someone like you
I like your style, you're swift, you're agile,
Everything about ya stays true
JILL:
You stood before the sun
ALmost struck me blind,
You're so damn fine...
ERIC:
Thank you baby
And I know that you are meant to be with me
Part o' my design
JILL:
One time
ERIC:
You'll be the salt, I'll be your peppa
Give you flava foreva
Leave ya never
Don't you know, girl, that I'm down for whateva
JILL:
You'll be my lemon, I'll be your tea,
Pure and naturally,
You'll be my leaf, I'll be your tree,
Your very definition of real.
BOTH:
Since you been goin' my way
Things have been goin' my way
Saturday Sunday Monday to Friday
I'm so happy you just make me wanna sing to ya baby
Never in my wildest days did I think I'd to find someone like you
I like your style, you're smooth, you're agile
Everything about ya stays true
ERIC:
You appeared before the sun
Almost struck me blind
You're so damn fine
JILL:
Thank you
And I know that you're the one meant for me
Part o' my design
ERIC:
One time
JILL:
Like causing gas to function
You're my ambutteral conjunction
In a cadillac with the trunk bumpin'
Always down for somethin' somethin' somethin'
ERIC:
You'll be my feather, I'll be you wings
Goin' to fly things
Shinin' like some diamond rings
Enjoyin' what happiness brings
BOTH:
Since you been goin' my way
Things have been goin' my way
Saturday Sunday Monday to Friday
I'm so happy, you just make me wanna sing to you baby...
Never in my wildest days did I think I'd to find someone like you
I like your style, you're smooth, you're agile
Everything about ya stays true
JILL:
You stood before the sun
ALmost struck me blind,
You're so damn fine...

And I know that you are meant to be with me
Part o' my design
