I should have known better
With a girl like you
That I would love
Everything that you do
And I do, hey hey hey, and I do

Whoa, whoa, I never realized
What I kiss could be
This could only happen to me
Can't you see, can't you see

That when I tell you that I love you, oh
You're gonna say you love me too, oh
And when I ask you to be mine
You're gonna say you love me too

So, oh, I should've realized
A lot of things before
If this is love
You've got to give me more
Give me more, hey hey hey
Give me more

That when I tell you
That I love you, oh
You're gonna say you love me too, oh
And when I ask you to be mine
You're gonna say you love me too

Whoa, whoa, I never realized
What a kiss could be
This could only happen to me
Can't you see, can't you see

That when I tell you that I love you, oh
You're gonna say you love me too, oh
And when I ask you to be mine
You're gonna say you love me too
You love me too, you love me too
