VERSE I don’t know what it is that makes me love you soI only know I never wanna let you go‘Cos you started something, oh can’t you see (harmony ‘ah’ x4 pitch rising)That ever since we met you’ve had a hold on me (harmony ‘ah’ x2 pitch rising)It happens to be true-- I only want to be with you

VERSE It doesn’t matter where you go or what you doI wanna spend each moment of the day with youOh look what has happened with just one kissI never knew that I could be in love like thisIt’s crazy but it’s true-- I only want to be with you.

BRIDGEYou stopped and smiled at meAsked me if I’d care to danceI fell into your open arms andI didn’t stand a chance. Now listen honey

VERSE I just wanna be beside you everywhereAs long as we’re together honey I don’t care‘Cos you started something, Oh can’t you seeThat ever since we met you’ve had a hold on meNo matter what you do-- I only want to be with you.
