When I met you, you were so unique Had a little thing I'd love to keep Every movement carried so much mystique I knew right then I'd carry on, to you I knew my heart belonged You, you give me something Something that nobody else can give And my heart, has started thumpin' You're the one I truly know I dig Like the sunbeams from a perfect summer's day Heaven only seems a step away When I'm with you, I just celebrate I'm hoping my message gets through There's never been someone like you I had nobody, but on you I would lean 'Cause you got these little things that I know I've never seen You now, you give me something Something that nobody else has got And this love, that I've been wanting Oh baby's turning out too fast to stop You know, you give me something Something that nobody else can give See my heart has started thumpin' You're the one I truly know I dig
