Something’s wrong
I just don’t understand
The way I feel
I don’t know just where I am
There’s some mistake
What am I doing here
Away from you
Where I belong
It isn’t fair
Keeping us apart
And in return
I’m left with just my broken heart
I close my eyes
I feel you close to me
Back in your arms
Where I belong
Chorus:
Eternal love
That’s all that I have to give
It’s only for you I live
You’re all that I’ve got
Just say you love me
And that no one else
Will ever make you feel the same
Something’s wrong
I just don’t understand
I’ve never felt this way
For any other man
My only dream
My one reality
My pledge to you
Eternal love
All that I give you is
All that I have
Oh baby take me in your arms
Just say you love me
And that no one else
Can ever make you feel the same
No one loves you like I love you
No one loves you like I do
It’s just not fair
You can’t keep me away
‘Cause I won’t give up
I’ve got to get you back today
My only dream
My one reality
My pledge to you
Eternal love
