Lyrics
Girl, tell me only this
That I'll have your heart for always
And you want me by your side
Whispering the words "I'll always love you"
And forever
I will be your lover
And I know if you really care
I will always be there
Now, I need to tell you this
There's no other love like your love
And I, as long as I live I'll give you all the joy
My heart and soul can give
Let me hold you
I need to have you near me
And I feel with you in my arms
This love will last forever
Because I'm truly
Truly in love with you, girl
I am truly
Head over heels with your love
I need you
And with your love I'm free
And truly
You know you're all right with me
