I don't know what it is that makes me love you so. I only know I never wanna let you go, 'Cause you started something, can't you see. Ever since we met you've had a hold on me. I happens to be true, I only want to be with you.	a
It doesn't matter where you go or what you do. I wanna spend each moment of the day with you. Look what has happened with just one kiss. I never knew that I could be in love like this. It's crazy but it's true I only want to be with you.	b
You stopped and smiled at me, asked me if I'd care to dance. I fell into your open arms, I didn't stand a chance.	c
Now, listen [/hear me], honey, I just wanna be beside you everywhere. As long as we're together, honey, I don't care. 'Cause you started something, can't you see. Ever since we met you've had a hold on me. No matter what you do, I only want to be with you.	d
