[Intro]
The greatest romance that's ever been sold

[Verse 1]
So what do you know? You and me, finally face to face
Checking each other up and down in all of the obvious places
Was there ever a reason for us to be apart?
The air that fills up this room says not hardly

[Pre-Chorus]
So this is where you end
And you and I begin
(This is where you and I, you and I begin)

[Chorus]
The greatest romance that's ever been sold
The greatest romance that's ever been sold

[Verse 2]
Baby, baby, now your mind is open to poetry seldom heard
Your heart has never been broken until you''ve heard these words
Your body was designed to respond to mine in spite of your desire to mold me

[Pre-Chorus]
And in the middle of it all
We kiss and like rain (Like rain), we fall into
