Feels Right
by: LemarYe-ah, ye-ah, ye-ah
I'll never stop loving you, until this life is over, ohh
I'll never stop needing you,always now and forever, aah
[Chorus]
See, cause it feels oh so right when I'm with you
It feels like I can't live without you
I just can't deny, my future lies with you oooh
I've had my doubts about us, though we make it together
But now I've spent time with you, I aint seen nothing better
[Bridge]
So whenever you call me, I'll come running, baby
And whenever you need me, I'll be there in a hurry
[Chorus]
Cause it feels oh so right when I'm with you
It feels like I can't live without you
I just can't deny, my future lies with you, yeaah
It feels right when I'm with you
Oh, I'll never leave you
I'll never leave you
I'll never leave you
Oh, you're all I need in this world
You're all I need in this world
Listen...
[Bridge]
So whenever you call me, I'll come running, baby
And whenever you need me, I'll be there in a hurry
[Chorus]
Cause it feels right whenever I'm with you
It feels like I can't live without you
Oh, I just can't deny, my future lies with you, with you, with you, with you
Cause it feels right whenever I'm with you
It feels like I can't live without you
Oh, I just can't deny, my future lies with you, yeeah
It feels right when I'm with you
Aaahh
Say it again, feels right when I'm with you
You were there when I was broken
My heart is always open...to you
When I'm with you
Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh
Said it feels right, it feels right, it feels right
Yeaaaaaaaah
