I lost my way
Oh baby this stray heart
Went to another
Can you recover baby?
Oh you're the only one that I'm dreamin' of
Your precious heart
Was torn apart by me and you

You're not alone
Oh oh and now I'm where I belong
We're not alone
Oh oh I'll hold your heart and never let go

Everything that I want
I want from you
But I just can't have you
Everything that I need
I need from you
But I just can't have you

I said a thousand times
And now a thousand one
We'll never part
I'll never stray again from you
This dog is destined for a home to your heart
We'll never part
I'll never stray again from you
You're not alone
Oh oh and now I'm where I belong
We're not alone
Oh oh I'll hold your heart and never let go

Everything that I want
I want from you
But I just can't have you
Everything that I need
I need from you
But I just can't have you

You're not alone
Oh oh and now I'm where I belong
We're not alone
Oh oh I'll hold your heart and never let go

Everything that I want
I want from you
But I just can't have you
Everything that I need
I need from you
But I just can't have you

Everything that I want
I want from you
But I just can't have you
Everything that I need
I need from you
But I just
Just can't have you
