There's something that I want to say 
But words sometimes get in the way 
I just want to show 
My feelings for you 
There's nothing that I'd rather do 
Than spend ev'ry moment with you 
I guess you should know 
I love you so 

You are my lady 
You're ev'rything I need and more 
You are my lady 
You're all I'm living for 

There's no way that I can resist 
Your precious kiss 
Girl, you've got me 
So hypnotized 
Just say that you'll stay with me 
Cause our love was meant to be 
I promise to love you 
More each day 

You are my lady, my love 
You're ev'rything I need and more 
You are my lady 
You're all I'm living for 

You are my lady, my love 
You're ev'rything I need and more 
You are my lady 
You're all I'm living for 

I love your shine, shine, shine
Let's make it last until the end of time 

You are my lady, my love 
You're ev'rything I need and more 
You are my lady 
You're all I'm living for
