When I held you last night
Aah, how I loved you
I was unable then to say what I mean
Everything that I say and do
Everything that I am includes you
Everything seems so clear, now that I love you
Come on, there's no time to stop
Baby, what you waiting for
You were made for me, tailor made for me, yeah
Darling, it's not our choice, who we fall for
Come on girl, take my hand, see what we do
There are some things you can't ignore
Love and devotions won't conform
But it's not up to me or up to you
Vanity's, ideals demand were satisfied
With what love plans
You were made for me, tailor made for me
There are something you can't ignore
Love and emotions won't conform
So let me tell you first-hand how much I love you
Fantasy may be grand but it's above you
Say you like the real thing more
Baby, what you waiting for
You were made for me, tailor made for me
You were made for me, custom built for me, yeah
You were made for me, custom made for me
You were made for me, tailor made for me
