I cannot help it
I couldn't stop it if I tried
The same old heartbeat
Fills the emptiness I have inside
And with it you can't fight love so I won't complain
So why would I stop the fire that keeps me going on
Cause when there's you I feel whole
And there's no better feeling in the world
Without you I'm alone
And I'd rather be in love..ohh
Turn out the lights now
To see is to believe
I just want you near me
I just want you here with me
And I'd give up everything only for you
It's the least that I could do
And when there's you I feel whole
And there's no better feeling in the world
Without you I'm alone
And I'd rather be in love..ohh
I'd rather be in love with you
Feel you holding me
Why are we afraid to be in love..to be loved
I Can't explain it I know it's tough..to be loved
And I feel you holding me
OH ohhh And when there's you I feel whole
And there's no better feeling in the world
Cause without you I'm alone
And I'd rather be in love..ohh
I'd rather be in love yes I'd rather be in love
Ow I'd rather be in love with you
Feel you holding me
