You stepped into my life
And I'm oh, so happy.
You stepped into my life
And I'm oh, so happy.
You stepped into my life,
Stepped into my life
Stepped into my life
And I'm oh, so happy.
You stepped into my life
And I'm oh, so.
Before you came my way
I always checked this out;
So much pain in love
And so alone inside.
I never thought
that I'd believe in love so much.
But darling when you came close to me,
Suddenly, suddenly
You stepped into my life
And I'm oh, so happy.
You stepped into my life
And I'm oh, so happy.
You stepped into my life,
Stepped into my life
Stepped into my life
And I'm oh, so happy.
You stepped into my life
And I'm oh, so.
You will never know
What you have done, my love.
You gave me so much more
My love is worthy of.
Beneath my very soul
I kneel before your touch.
Your touch is ecstasy,
Close to me.
Suddenly, suddenly
You stepped into my life,
Stepped into my life
Stepped into my life
And I'm oh, so happy.
You stepped into my life...
She came on like the night and she held on tight
And the world was right when she made love to me
We were free
She moved in like a friend , started loving me
And I thought I'd found my heaven in her arms
But the morning when I woke up
I was here and she was gone
Now I'm hanging on
Maybe you can tell me how a love so right can turn out to be so wrong
Where did she go when I need her close to me
And the perfect story ended at the start
I thought you came forever and you came to break my heart
Now I'm hanging on , on the chance that you'll come back to me
How a love so right can turn out to be so wrong , oh my darling
How a love so right can turn out to be so wrong , oh my darling
I could take it in my stride
Start living for the moment
Maybe half the things we sought were never there
Simply open up our eyes and break it down to size
It isn't really fair
How a love so right can turn out to be so wrong , oh my darling
How a love so right can turn out to be so wrong , oh my darling
How a love so right can turn out to be so wrong , oh my darling (repeat/fade)

No, you can't keep a good man down
When you got a good woman to keep it up
No, you can't stand on firmer ground
When love is the question I got enough
Ooh, with lips so sweet
Our love just can't be beat, my darling, oh yeah
A love like yours and mine
Can stand the test of time, my darling, oh yeah
But for tomorrow -- tomorrow never comes
Love is the secret -- goes living on
No, you can't keep a good man down
When you got a good woman to keep it up
No, you can't stand on firmer ground
When love is the question I got enough
Just when I need you, show me the way
You came into my world -- turned my night to day
What good is a man without a woman?
But for the trouble -- trouble always comes
Love is the secret -- goes living on
No, you can't keep a good man down
When you got a good woman to keep it up
No, you can't stand on firmer ground
When love is the question I got enough
Ooh, your love is strong
Keep me forever, you're my darling, oh yeah
A love like yours and mine
Can stand the test of time, my darling, oh yeah
But for tomorrow -- tomorrow never comes
Love is the secret -- goes living on
No, you can't keep a good man down
When you got a good woman to keep it up
No, you can't stand on firmer ground
When love is the question I've got enough

I remember times my love when we really had it all
You were always there to make me smile, help me when I fall
Ooh, I can't believe you're leaving me
When there's so much more to say -- I can't let you go
Ooh , ev'ry time I look at you I still can feel the glow
Let it be, let it grow
Love me , please , just a little bit longer
Together we can make it
Our love is much too young to break it
Love me , please , just a little bit harder
All I ever wanted was to have you to myself
Then I see you standing there in the arms of someone else
You know a man can stand so much
And it's more then I can bear -- I can't let you go
Ooh, ev'ry time I look at you I still can feel the glow
Let it be , let it grow
Love me , please, just a little bit longer
Together we can make it
Our love is much too young to break it
Love me , please, just a little bit harder
Never even try to see things her way
It's hard on a woman when love ain't no love at all
And when she walks away (no no) -- and she probably will
You're gonna be sorry, begging her , please
Love me , please, just a little bit longer
Together we can make it
Our love is much too young to break it
Love me , please, just a little bit harder
I think I can work it out
I can't get enough
I want you tomorrow
Love me , please, just a little bit longer
Together we can make it
Our love is much too young to break it
Love me , please, just a little bit longer
Together we can make it
Our love is much too young to break it

ooh, take me to the subway
It ain't far away, but the night is mine, like it fine, gonna stay
See you in the morning, gotta rush, et a bus, make a fuss
Gimme some loving in the morning
Ooh, she makes me feel so good, instant reaction and ready for love [Geez!]
I got no work, no sweat, no strain
I got to make it to the midnight train
so take me to the subway
Ooh, city life is bittersweet
I don't care, take me there on the sstreet, freedom in the city
Gotta ride, goin' down underground, watch me slide, loving in the city
OOh, she makes me so complete, heavy in love and light on my feet
I got no work, no sweat, no strain
I got to make it to the midnight train
So take me to the subway
ooh take me to the subway.
I don't know how, but nights get lonely now
They keep appearing in my eyes
Such a warm and tender glow
For just one moment I remember all
The love we had was never all that bad
There were smiles and there were tears
On that special starry night, with your arms around me
Held on tight
Wasn't that the way it was?
Two strangers reaching for a worthless cause
Wasn't that the love we shared?
Or just the restless years when no-one cared
I don't know why, it's hard to say goodbye
Or even justify the end
You meant so very much to me
Then to let you go, start my life again
The love we had was never all that bad
There were smiles and there were tears
Till that special summer day
When I reached out for you, you just walked away
Wasn't that the way it was?
Two strangers reaching for a worthless cause
Wasn't that the love we shared?
Or just the restless years when no-one cared
When you move it like you really know how to move me
I follow you wherever you go
I just wan
We are children of the world - watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life - keeps us all anticipating
We are searchers of the truth, every man's a boy deep down
Gotta say it how you mean it - there ain't no easy way
Like a bird in the wind, like a tree in the storm
Like the breath of a child from the moment he's born
To the very last day when the curtains are drawn
We are children of the world - asking every question why
From arrival to survival - just to make it worth the waiting
We are faces in the night - watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life - there ain t no easy way
In the back of your mind there is always a mark
There's a wandering solo alone in the dark
You can keep it forever or tear it apart
We are children of the world - watching every day go by
Changing my life, changing your life - keeps us all anticipating
We are children of the world - watching every day go by
Like a bird in the wind, like a tree in the storm
Like the breath of a child from the moment he's born
Till the very last day when the curtains are drawn
We are children of the world - watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life - keeps us all anticipating
We are children of the world - watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life - keeps us all anticipating
