Lyrics
[A] I don't know what it is that makes me love you so. I only know I never want to let you go 'Cause you started something, can't you see. Ever since we met you've had a hold on me. I happens to be true, I only want to be with you. [A] It doesn't matter where you go or what you do. I want to spend each moment of the day with you. Look what has happened with just one kiss. I never knew that I could be in love like this. It's crazy but it's true5 I only want to be with you. [B] You stopped and smiled at me, Asked me if I'd care to dance. I fell into your open arms, I didn't stand a chance. [A] Now, listen, honey, I just want to be beside you everywhere. As long as we're together, honey, I don't care 'Cause you started something, can't you see. Ever since we met you've had a hold on me. No matter what you do, I only want to be with you. [B] You stopped and smiled at me, Asked me if I'd care to dance. I feel into your open arms, I didn't stand a chance. [A] Now, listen, honey, I just want to be beside you everywhere. As long as we're together, honey, I don't care 'Cause you started something, can't you see. Ever since we met you've had a hold on me. No matter what you do, I only want to be with you. [Coda] No matter, no matter what you do, I only want to be with you. No matter, no matter what you do, I only want to be with you.
