0:18They say that it's a matter of trusting
0:23Before love has a chance to begin
0:28And it's never simple, faithless hearts can cripple
0:33And only a strong love survives
0:37I know they say that it's such a fine line
0:42Between giving up and giving in
0:46Ah, but once your heart's been in it, you just can't forget it
0:52It's like nothing that you've felt in your life
0:56We got real love, not infatuation
1:02Real love, our hearts' celebration
1:07I love you (you know I love you too)
1:11Real love, not an imitation
1:16Real love, you're my destination
1:21Baby, you and me, we got everything we need
1:27♪
1:35You are such a part of my life
1:40That I can't remember me without you
1:45And we've had our nights, we've had our share of fights
1:49But we never thought of givin' it up
1:53Oh, you and I, we must be dreamers
1:59'Cause we're makin' all our dreams come true
2:04I could spend my life just holding you so tight
2:09And never ever get enough
2:13We got real love, not infatuation
2:19Real love, our hearts' celebration
2:23I love you (you know I love you too)
