Yeah yeaah!
Got myself a notion.
One I know that you'll understand
Set the world in motion
By reaching out for each other's hands
Maybe we'll discover
What we should've known all along(Yeah)
One way or another
Together's where we both belong.
Chorus:
If we listen to each other's hearts.
We'll find we're never too far apart.
And maybe love is the reason why,
for the 1st time ever we're seeing it eye to eye.
If a wall should come between us
Too high to climb
too hard to break through
I know that love will lead us
And find a way to bring me to you
So don't be in a hurry
Think b4 you count us out(ooh)
You don't have to worry
I won't ever let you down
(nothing's gonna stop us now)
(Chorus 1x)
If you're ever lonely.stop!
You don't have to be
After all this slowly
I'll be there for just you and me
Take a look inside and see
(Chorus 1 more X)
