'Cause love is wonderful

When you find it, babe, find it, babe, find it, babe

When you find it, babe, find it all, find it, babe

See you

'Cause love is wonderful

When you find it, babe, find it, babe, find it, babe

When you find it, babe, find it all, find it, babe

Tears of waterfall, like the seven seas

Got me swimming in your love, feel the ocean breeze

Yeah, you know you touch my heart, give me energy

Whoa, shawty is like a melody

Singing every night and day, wee

You're all I need, wee

Girl, just stay, what you say?

Forever with me, oh-wow

'Til the end of time, baby

Oh, your love is mine, I tell no lie

I put my heart on the line, baby

Just so we can survive, just so we can survive, oh

See you

When you find it, babe, find it, babe, find it, babe

When you find it, babe, find it all, find it, babe

Waterfall

Got you running on down

Girl, don't turn me down

Keep it up when you're around

'Cause the freaks come out at night

2:00 a.m., you come alive

Do that freaky shit I like

Girl, you know you just my type, yeah

Running around town, saying you wanna have my child

You know you crazy

Spend a hundred thou', might just drop that now

That's on the daily

Okay, okay, yeah

Girl, that's everyday, yeah

Thank God when I pray, yeah

'Cause I came a long way

'Til the end of time, baby

Oh, your love is mine, I tell no lie

I put my heart on the line, baby

Just so we can survive, just so we can survive, oh

See you

need you

keep you

'Cause love is wonderful

When you find it, babe, find it, babe, find it, babe

When you find it, babe, find it all, find it, babe

See you

'Cause love is wonderful

When you find it, babe, find it, babe, find it, babe

When you find it, babe, find it all, find it, babe
