Lyrics[]
Shoot me down in flames if I should tell a lie
Cross my heart I promise that it's true
I've been in love so many times before
But never with a girl like you
With a girl like you
To hold and be beside
With a girl like you
To fill my heart with pride and joy
With a girl like you
I know where I belong
With a girl like you
I know I can be strong, you know
I won't bring you any pain
I won't run around again
There'll be nothing to explain
With a girl like you
You know
I won't bring you any pain
I won't run around again
There'll be nothing to explain
With a girl like you
