Girl, ever since you walked into my life
You took everything that was wrong and made it right
That's what you did
I'm blessed cause I don't have to settle for the rest
Took some time but now I've found the best
That I ever knew
I've never been in love before 'cause I've been waitin' all my life for you
So, tell me I'm right and I'm not crazy
There are no ifs, no ands, or buts, or maybes
Is it bad that I only wanna be together?
'Cause each passin' second it just keeps gettin' better
Keeps gettin' better
Babe, sometimes it's hard to find the words to say
You're the reason I'm the man I am today
You know what you did
At last, you know that you don't even have to ask
Forever is how long it's gonna last
Honest and true
I've never been in love before 'cause I've been saving all my love for you
So tell me I'm right and I'm not crazy
There are no ifs, no ands, or buts, or maybes
Is it bad that I only wanna be together?
'Cause each passin' second it just keeps gettin' better
Keeps gettin' better
Way back when we met I knew it then
Girl, I knew you were the best there's ever been
Still I don't know how you do the things you do
But every day you open up your eyes I'll be right there 'cause I belong to you
So, tell me I'm right and I'm not crazy
There are no ifs, no ands, or buts, or maybes
Is it bad that I only wanna be together?
'Cause each passin' second, of each passin' minute, of each passin' hour it just keeps gettin' better
Oh wah, oh, wooh!
Oh woh, woh, woooh!
Oh wah, oh, woooh, woooh, woooh, wooooh, woooooh!!!
Is it bad that I only wanna be together?
'Cause each passin' second it just keeps gettin' better
Keeps gettin' better
