Lyrics:
My life will never be the same
'Cause girl you came and changed
The way I walk, the way I talk
Now I cannot explain
These things I feel for you
But girl you know it's true
So stay with me, fulfill my dreams
I'll be all you need
Ooh it feels so right
I've searched for the perfect love all my life
Ooh it feels like
I have finally found a perfect love this time
[Chorus]
You rocked my world, you know you did
And everything I own I give
The rarest love, who'd think I'd find
Someone like you to call mine
You rocked my world, you know you did
And everything I own I give
The rarest love, who'd think I'd find
Someone like you to call mine
In time, I knew that love would bring
Such happiness to me
I tried to keep my sanity
I've waited patiently
And girl you know it seems
My life is so complete
A love that's true, because of you
Keep doing what you do
Ooh it feels so right
I've searched for the perfect love all my life
Ooh who'd think I'd find
Such a perfect love that's awesomely so right
[Chorus x 2]
And girl, I know that this is love
I feel the magic all in the air
And girl, I'll never get enough
That's why I always have to have you here
[Chorus x 4]
'Cause girl you came and changed
The way I walk, the way I talk
Now I cannot explain
These things I feel for you
But girl you know it's true
So stay with me, fulfill my dreams
I'll be all you need
Ooh it feels so right
I've searched for the perfect love all my life
Ooh it feels like
I have finally found a perfect love this time
[Chorus]
You rocked my world, you know you did
And everything I own I give
The rarest love, who'd think I'd find
Someone like you to call mine
You rocked my world, you know you did
And everything I own I give
The rarest love, who'd think I'd find
Someone like you to call mine
In time, I knew that love would bring
Such happiness to me
I tried to keep my sanity
I've waited patiently
And girl you know it seems
My life is so complete
A love that's true, because of you
Keep doing what you do
Ooh it feels so right
I've searched for the perfect love all my life
Ooh who'd think I'd find
Such a perfect love that's awesomely so right
[Chorus x 2]
And girl, I know that this is love
I feel the magic all in the air
And girl, I'll never get enough
That's why I always have to have you here
[Chorus x 4]
