CHORUS:
Baby what I’m tryin’ to tell you
Is that I love you (I really do)
Baby did you hear me tell you
That I love you (I really do)?
No, no ‘cause I can’t be
With no one else
I gave you my heart
And all my pure love
Baby what I’m tryin’ to tell you
Is that I love you (I really do)
VERSE 1:
Like a bird loves the sky
And wind loves a kite
I love you (I really do)
‘Long as the sun shines high
And sets in your smile
I love you (I really do)
‘Cause I can’t be with no one else
I gave you my heart and all my true love
Ooo baby
I can’t give anymore
I gave you my heart, I want your love
(REPEAT CHORUS)
VERSE 2:
When the moonlight is high
And we leave this day behind
I love you (I really do)
When the tide gets too high
You don’t have to wonder why
I love you (I really do)
‘Cause I can’t be with no one else
I gave you my heart and all my true love
Ooo baby
I can’t give anymore
I gave you my heart, I want your love
(REPEAT CHORUS)
