[Verse 1]
I just want you to know
That I really, really think you're something special
Wanna try hard to show
Make it sweet, sweet, sweet wherever we go

[Chorus]
Just to know love is true
Heaven blessed truth in you
I just want to be with you

[Verse 2]
Just to have you baby, by my side
Love would be the only rule
You're gonna see, baby, how hard I can try
None will ever do so well
Like a little funky fairy tale

[Bridge]
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Ah-ha, ah-ha
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Ah-ha-ha, oh no, baby, baby

[Verse 3]
I just want you to know
When I first saw you, baby, I fell to the floor
Dreaming you in my head
Understanding love with nothing you can say
