Lyrics[]
There was no one in my life till I met you
You brought me love and taught me how to smile
You picked me up when I was feeling blue
From now on my future is worthwhile
It's lookin' good, it's lookin' good
It's lookin' good, it's lookin' good
It's lookin' good!
Now that you have given me reason to live
I will stay forever by your side
And give you all the lovin' I can give
Just say the word, and be my bride
It's lookin' good, it's lookin' good
It's lookin' good, it's lookin' good
It's lookin' good!
I'm not throwing caution to the winds, oh no
Love is not an easy game to play
Though I may not be a man of words, yeah, yeah
There is one thing I feel obliged to say
It's lookin' good, it's lookin' good
It's lookin' good, it's lookin' good
It's lookin' good
It's lookin' good, it's lookin' good
It's lookin' good, it's lookin' good
It's lookin' good
You might also like
It's lookin' good
It's lookin' good
It's lookin' good
It's lookin' good
