how they feel, または what they say
your're everything, i ever knew
i always wanted, baby
i've been warned, so many times
they tell me i've ignored the signs
but nobody knows あなた like i do
the only one for me is you
getting tierd, of hearing that
you're dangerous, but they wont stop
until i leave, they wont belive
that being with あなた wont break my heart
so worried 'bout, the road ahead
they can't see that, your my best friend
there never gonna take me from you
there's nothing they can do
how can i walk away
when the feeling's so strong
i know you're where i belong
they say i let my ハート, 心
make up my mind
that's why i'll never say goodbye
i can't stop, can't fight, can't resist it
when the wrong one loves あなた right
(oh-oh-oh-oh-yeah)
can't run-can't hide-can't say no
when the wrong one loves あなた right
(oh-oh-oh-oh)
when the wrong one loves あなた right
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Ohh yeah yeah
At last
The skies above are blue
My ハート, 心 was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Ohh yeah yeah
あなた smile, あなた smile
Oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For あなた are mine at last
I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Ohh yeah yeah
あなた smile, あなた smile
Oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
For あなた are mine at last
At last... at last
