Lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me

Don’t take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me

Each time we meet love (ooh)
I find complete love (ooh)
Without your sweet love, tell me
What would life be

So never leave me lonely
Just tell me you’ll love me only
And that you’ll always
Let it be me

Ooh

Each time we meet love (ooh)
I find complete love (ooh)
Without your sweet love
What would life be
