LYRICS 

How - how can it be that a love
Carved out of caring fashioned by fate
Could suffer so hard
From the games played much too often?
But making mistakes is a part
Of life's imperfections
Born of the years
Is it so wrong to be human after all?
That there is something about you
Baby so right!
I wouldn't be without you
Baby tonight!
If ever our love was concealed
No one can say that we didn't feel
A million things
And a perfect dream of life
Gone, fragile but free
We remain tender together
If not so in love, it's not so wrong
We're only human after all
Because there's something about you
(And now the way you are tonight)
Baby so right!
I couldn't live without you
(I couldn't live without you)
Baby tonight!
(Here tonight)
Yeah!
And now there's something about you
(Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah! Yeah!
And I couldn't live without you
(Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Tonight!

LYRICS  only dreamed that I would find A loving heart, an open mind to see the real me And I hoped that you would be the one A chance to talk, a chance to grow I'll take the risk, let my feelings flow I've found the words I need to say Suddenly you're seeing me just the way I am Suddenly you're hearing me So I'm talking just as fast as I can to you Suddenly every part of me needs to know every part of you Now I know that you are mine You bring me your love and peace of mind You see the real me and I know that you're the key Suddenly you're seeing me just the way I am Suddenly you're hearing me So I'm talking just as fast as I can to you Suddenly every part of me needs to know every part of you Suddenly you're seeing me just the way I am Suddenly you're hearing me So I'm talking just as fast as I can to you Suddenly, awkwardly You're all I want, all I need you to be Suddenly every part of me needs to know every part of you Just you,
