  • Girl, tell me only this
    That I'll have your heart for always
    And you want me by your side
    Whispering the words "I'll always love you"

    And forever
    I will be your lover
    And I know if you really care
    I will always be there

    I need to tell you this
    There's no other love like your love
    And I, as long as I live
    I'll give you all the joy
    My heart and soul can give

    Let me hold you
    I need to have you near me
    And I feel with you in my arms
    This love will last forever

    Because I'm truly
    Truly in love with you, girl
    I'm truly head over heels with your love
    I need you, and with your love I'm free
    And truly, you know you're all right

    With me Writer/s: Lionel Richie
