I've done met so many
I've done lost so many
Been hurt by somebody
I have hurt somebody
I've been in the cold
Boy but now i know you're the one i want
I ain't letting go
Cos i feel the love
Yeah i feel your love
And i ain't worry bout it boy cos i'm so in love
Don't know what it was but it must be love
I hope you stay ay ay forever
Just stay in my life
Ain't nobody i wanna see but you you you
Just stay in my life
Ain't nobody i wanna be with boy but you you you
It took me a minute but now i know what i'm talking about
Once i got it i wanna tell the whole world about it (yeah yeah)
I got you in my life, happy you're in my life
Please stay in my life (yeah babe)
I have played the fool
Yeah i've played a few
But boy in the end there's no games with you
I was in the rain but you moved the clouds
Now i ain't the same
Wanna say it loud
Cos i feel your love
Yeah i feel your love
And i ain't worry bout it boy cos i'm so in love
Don't know what it was but it must be love
I hope you stay ay ay forever
Just stay in my life
Ain't nobody i wanna see but you you you
Just stay in my life
Ain't nobody i wanna be with boy but you you you
It took me a minute but now i know what i'm talking about
Once i got it i wanna tell the whole world about it (yeah)
