lyrics
Do, do-oo, do do do
Do, do-oo, do do do
Do, do-oo, do do do
Do, do-oo, do do do
Do, do-oo, do do do
Do, do-oo, do do do
When I set my eyes on you
I could have sworn we'd met before
But I looked inside my tiny mind
I knew I'd found what I had wished for
It's not so long ago
But another day and another year
There's no need to stay afraid
Now you've made a friend, will you make the most of me?
All along I ever wanted
Love is all I ever wanted
Do, do-oo, do do do
Do, do-oo, do do do
Do, do-oo, do do do
When I stopped to talk with you
I could have sworn we'd talked before
'Cause I never found such sympathy
In this or any other city
I knew that I would find
What a million others leave behind
All my dreams and my desires
Now you've made a friend, will you make the most of me?
All along I ever wanted
Love is all I ever wanted
I can't forget your kind of conversation
These little secrets feel like liberation
And when I'm with you all of my time stands still
When I'm without you, life's a bitter pill
Do, do-oo, do do do
Do, do-oo, do do do
Do, do-oo, do do do
All along I ever wanted
Love is all I ever wanted
