Baby, you won't be messing a good thing
Hurrying off with the break of day
You're not like them other men
Baby, I know we'll never be parting
You won't leave me in a heartache
Beckoning disarray
Strange things have happened before
Oh, this love, gives me more than I ever
Bargained for
Lifts me up 'cause I know
He won't mess a good thing
Baby
Baby, no one can touch this love of mine, yeah
There's no need to waste my time, yeah, yeah
I live just for you
Baby, I know we'll never be parting
You won't leave me in a heartache, oh-oh
Beckoning disarray, oh-oh, yeah
Strange things have happened before
But oh, this love gives me more than I ever
Bargained for
Lifts me up 'cause I know
He won't mess a good thing
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, yeah
Pa-pa-pa-ra-pa-pa, pa-pa-pa-ra-pa-pa
Pa-pa-pa-ra-pa-pa
Strange things have happened before
Oh, this love gives me more than I ever
Bargained for
Lifts me up 'cause I know
He won't mess a good thing, no
He won't mess a good thing, yeah
