Lyrics
Not many’d say your pretty ’cause they don’t realize
That beauty is often hidden from anothers eyes
But in a quiet moments thats beauty starts to shine
And every night I’m thankful thats you mine
Mm-mm that you ou mine
Cause you was born to love me in your gentle way
Born to love me each and everyday
Born to love me born to hold me tight
Born to love me everynight, everynight, everynight
I’ve learned it doesn’t matter what other people see
It’s what I feel for you and what you feels for me
She’s made my life worth living because you understood
Love is made for giving, your so good o yes
Your so good
And you was born to love me in your gentle way
Born to love me each and everyday
Born to love me born to hold me tight
Born to love me everynight, everynight
Yes, she was born to love me in your gentle way
Born to love me each and everyday
