I'm gonna be here for you baby, I'll be a man of my word
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard
I want to sleep with you forever, I want to die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm
Now that I've found you, I want to surround you

I'll win your trust making memories of us
I want to honor your mother, I want to learn from your pa
I want to steal your attention like a bad outlaw
I want to stand out in a crowd to you, a man among men
I want to make your world better than it's ever been
I want to know you, like nobody knows you

And I'll win your trust making memories of us
I'm gonna be here for you from now on, this you'll know somehow
You've been stretched to the limit, but it's all right now
I'm gonna make you a promise, if there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm wet kiss

'Cause I'm gonna love you, like nobody loves you
I'll win your trust making memories of us
Yeah, I'm gonna love you, like nobody loves you
And I'll earn your trust making memories of us
