Inseparable, that's how we'll always be
Inseparable, just you and me
It's so wonderful to know
You'll always be around me

It's incredible, that's what you are to me
Incredible, you bring out the best in me
With your style of love
Inseparable, yes we are

It is like a flower to a tree
Like words to a melody of love
There's no way that we could break up
No words can ever make us blow our thing

We're just inseparable, that's how it is
Inseparable, for the rest of our years
It's so wonderful to know
You'll always be around

It is like a flower to a tree
Like words to a melody of love
There's no way that we could break up
No words can ever make us blow our thing

We're just inseparable, you and me
We are, we are, we are, we are, we are
That's what we are
I know, I know, I know you're made for me, baby

You mean the world to me
That's what we are, inseparable
We are, we are, we are, we are, we are
Inseparable, inseparable, inseparable

I know, I know, I know you're meant for me, baby
We'll be together
[Incomprehensible]
