Your precious love
Means more to me than
Any love could ever be

For when I wanted you
I was so lonely and so blue
For that`s, that`s
What love will do

And, darling, I`m so surprised
Oh, when I first realized
That you, you were fooling me

And, darling, they say
That our love won`t grow
But I just want to tell them
That they don`t know

For as long as
You`re in love with me
Our love will grow wider
Deeper than any sea

Of all the things that I want
In this whole wide world
Is just for you to say
You`ll be my girl

And, ooh (wanting you)
While I was wanting you, girl
(I`m so lonely and blue)
For that`s, that`s
What love can do

And every night
(Wanting you)
(I`m so lonely and blue)
That I got to bed
I dream wonderful
Wonderful dreams of you

And, ooh (wanting you)
While I was wanting you...
