Lyrics
Oh, I, baby, what a fool I am
First a boy and then a man am I
And you, you’re the heart of it all
You’re the things I say and do
Am I wastin’ my time hangin’ around?
You would be gone
But I can’t help it
Every moment that I think about you
Every day and every night without you
I can’t survive
Love, take away the lonely days gone by
Make it every day for you and I
Givin’ me a chance to go on believin’
Girl, you gotta go on believin’
Boy, you gotta go on believin’
You, baby, you’re the breath I take
Coming from the heart, in love am I
And you, you’re the heart of it all
You’re the things I say and do
Am I wasting my time hangin’ around?
You would be gone
But I can’t help it
Every moment that I think about you
Every day and every night without you
I can’t survive
Love, take away the lonely days gone by
Make it every day for you and I
Givin’ me a chance to go on believin’
Boy, you gotta go on believin’
I can’t help it
Every moment that I think about you
Every day and every night (every day and night) without you
I can’t survive
Love, take away the lonely days gone by
Make it every day for you and I
Givin’ me a chance to
Help it, help it
Every moment that I think (every moment) about you
Every day and every night (every day and night) without you
I can’t survive
Love, take away the lonely days gone by
Make it every day for you and I
Givin’ me a chance to…
