Lyrics:
Girl, as you walk by
I see the sign so deep inside
I knew it had to be
When you smiled for a little while
I heard the same rhapsody
So lovely and so fair

I knew right then and there
That you were made for me
And it wasn't hard to see
I guess I was born to love you, ooooh
I guess I was born to love you
(Born to love you) Ooooh

(Darling, I was born to love you)
(Give my love to no one but you)

There stands a man with a future in his hands
Don't let go (Don't let it go)
Don't let go (Don't let it go)
Baby, don't let go
(Don't let it go, don't let it go)

You better come on and take my hand
'Cause I can't understand this feelin' in my soul
But I know that I would rather die
Than to let this feeling go

Oh, now, girl, can you see
That this was meant to be
It's funny but it's true
I guess I was born to love you, oh, yeah
I guess I was born to love you, oh, yeah
I guess I was born to love you, darlin', oh, yeah
Hmmm... yeah, yeah, yeah
I guess I was born to love you... (fade)
