Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Every time our eyes meetThis feelin’ inside meIs almost more than I can takeBaby when you touch meI can feel how much you love meAnd it just blows me away
I’ve never been this close to anyone or anythingI can hear your thoughtsI can see your dreams
I don’t know how you do what you doI’m so in love with youIt just keeps gettin’ better
I wanna spend the rest of my lifeWith you by my sideForever and ever
Every little thing that you doBaby I’m amazed by you
The smell of your skinThe taste of your kissThe way you whisper in the darkYour hair all around meBaby you surround meYou touch every place in my heart
Oh it feels like the first time every timeI wanna spend the whole night in your arms
I don’t know how you do what you doI’m so in love with youIt just keeps gettin’ better
I wanna spend the rest of my lifeWith you by my sideForever and ever
Every little thing that you doBaby I’m amazed by you
Every little thing that you doI’m so in love with youIt just keeps gettin’ betterI wanna spend the rest of my lifeWith you by my sideForever and everEvery little thing that you doOoh (every little thing that you do)Every little thing that you doBaby I’m amazed by you
