[Música]

All I want is to reveal myself to you

My shadow often betrays me and sabotages me

In a thousand

ways, all I want is

to be with you I wish I could be your path

Hey, it’s no surprise I love your little eyes

And the way they look at me Hey, I want to kiss you

Get lost in the darkness with you Let’s see

what happens Hey, no one else catches my eye like you—you’ve got

that something that makes me sigh Hey, come

over here I dreamed of you last night and I want to

make it

real Get used to

me, even if I don’t say it Today I’ll

regret it I was meant

for you If you feel the same, never let me go

[Música]

[Música]

One more, one more of your caresses that

start from scratch and light my fire

One more, one more of your kisses might just

make me fall in love I don’t think I’ll leave One more,

one

more, one more, one more

Hey, it’s no surprise I love your little eyes And

the way they look at me Hey, I want to kiss you, get lost

in the darkness with you Let’s see what happens Hey,

no one else catches my eye like you—you’ve got that something

that makes me sigh

Hey, come over here I dreamed of you last night and I want to

make it real

Get used to

me, even if I don’t

say it I’ll

[Música]

regret it I was meant

for you If you feel the same, never let me

go
