[Verse 1: Leon Ware]
My cherie amour, lovely as a summer day
My cherie amour, distant as the Milky Way
My cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart lives for
How I wish that you were mine

[Verse 2: Paulette McWilliams, All]
Ooh, I see you, you
Oh, oh, I see you
My cherie amour, won't you tell me how you could ignore
That behind that smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine

[Refrain: Paulette McWilliams, All]
La, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
