The way you make me feel like I belong
The way you make me right when I am wrong
The way you sacrifice just for me
Just how lucky can a poor man be?
That is why...

That is why...

Dont you know, baby...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want the world to know.
The way you rub my back when Im in pain.
The way you soothe me so I wont complain
And when you kiss me with your ruby red lips.
It thrills me so, I turn a back-over flip.

That is why...
Dont you know, baby...

That is why...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want the world to know.
If Shakespeare thought that Juliet
Really loved Romeo from the time they met,
He would blow his top if he could see
Just how youve been lovin me.

The way you rub my back when Im in pain
The way you soothe me so I wont complain
And when you kiss me with your ruby red lips.
It thrills me so, I turn a back-over flip.
That is why...

That is why...

Cmon now, baby...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want to take it easy, baby...

Take it easy, honey...

Dont you know now...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I want the... one more time, now...

Cmon, cmon, baby...
