I know that you've got feelings
For me like I got feelings for you
So shouldn't you be reaching
For me like I keep reaching for you
Save yourself a lot of trouble
Trying to fight it
There's just no way you can

No, you can't stop the river from rollin' to the ocean
It's a destiny that the good Lord put into motion
Like a baby's tears and a mother's devotion
Some things are meant to be
And one of them is you and me

Something in your eyes is showing
Me you don't me going away
I feel it when you're holding
Me you want me to hold you always
It's time to let your guard down
And go with it
It's what's we're born to do

No, you can't stop the river from rollin' to the ocean
It's a destiny that the good Lord put into motion
Like a baby's tears and a mother's devotion
Some things are meant to be
And one of them is you and me
