Lori, Laura, Lori, Lorelei
Sunshine in the night
You're makin' everything worthwhile
You know I need your love
Pretty lady, help me now
But do you love me
I got to know, I've got to know now
Oh, long ago I had a lady
She looked alot like you
She lied to my face, yeah, such a disgrace
I had to leave, couldn't play the fool
Here I am again in love, baby
I've been this way before
I need your touch, need it so much
I need you, I need you, I do
Baby baby, be my friend
You know I'm gonna love you all I can
Before the dawn is breakin'
I'm gonna change your mind, yeah yeah
And you'll love me baby, come on love me
Come on Lorelei
If you spent a lifetime thinkin' 'bout the day
Would you know how many nights I've cried
I see your face in my mind, I've tried but I just can't find
A way, I need you bad
Babe, you're tearin' me apart
You know, you know I gave you
Every little piece of my heart
Before the dawn is breakin'
I'm gonna change your mind, yeah yeah
And you'll love me baby, come on love me
Come on Lorelei
