I always thought that I'd prefer single-blessed-ness

Thought that I'd like to stay free

I never thought my time would come to marry,

No wedding bells for me, I've changed my mind after all,

You are the one made me fall, for...

I used to smile at all the songs that were popular,

Nothing but love in each song,

I used to think those kind of songs were foolish,

Now I admit I'm wrong.

Love songs are part of my plan, show me the minister man, for...

I never knew I could love anybody,

Honey, like I'm loving you;

I couldn't realize what a pair of eyes and a baby smile could do.

I can't sleep, I can't eat,

I never knew a single soul could be so sweet,

I never knew I could love anybody,

Honey, like I'm loving you.
