Lyrics

Ever since I saw you smiling
I knew I was as good as dead
You have got all that I long for
You're the one dream in my head

I wanna be with you
Every night and day
Please tell me that this is okay

I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
Every night and every day
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
Please take my sadness away

There is no way I can fight this
You have me in your control
All I can do is watch you
Like all the fish in your bowl

I wanna be with you
Every night and day
Please tell me that this is okay

I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
Every night and every day
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
Please take my sorrows away

Ever since I saw you smiling
Ever since I saw you smiling

I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
Every night and every day
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
Please take my sadness away
I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be with you
I wanna be, I wanna be
I wanna be with you
