First time I ever saw you across a crowded café
I was staring at my future, face to face
You were like a loving memory, though we never met before
And you smiled, and my heart was yours forever more
Of all the things I've known that can't be denied, hmm
I've never been so sure in all my life
I don't know how (no, no)
I don't know when (don't know when)
I don't know what I'm gonna say to make it all begin
But I do know one thing (one thing) sure as anything (anything)
As sure as love is still alive in this world (you gonna be my girl)
You gonna be, you gonna be (mmm, be my)
You gonna be my girl (eh, eh)
I was going through some changes, and I know I broke your heart (mmm)
But I been working on myself since we've been apart (yes, girl)
(Some things you have to just let go 'til you learn the way to hold them)
You were the best of anything I've ever known
The love we had comes once upon a life (once in a life)
And I'll be damned if I give up, just let it die
I don't know how (oh, oh)
I don't know when (I don't know)
I don't know what I'm gonna do to bring it back again (oh baby)
But I do know one thing (one thing) as sure as anything (anything)
As sure as love is still alive in this world (my love, oh) (you're gonna be my girl)
You're gonna be, you're gonna be my
You're gonna be my girl (ooh ooh ooh)
I know this road won't be easy (I know baby)
It's gonna be the fight of my life (of my life yeah)
But a love that tries is a love that survives (a love that tries, that will survive)
And I'll be holding on with of my mind
'Cause I
I don't know how (I don't know how, no), I don't know when (I don't know when)
I don't know what the hell to do to bring it back again (oh, what the hell I'm gonna do)
But I do know one thing (one thing) as sure as anything (anything)
As sure as love is still alive in this world (oh yeah, you're my girl)
I don't know how (my yeah yeah), I don't know when
I don't know what the hell to do to bring it back again (baby, what the hell I'm gonna do)
But I do know one thing (one thing) as sure as anything (anything)
As sure as love is still alive in this world (still alive, still here) (you're gonna be my girl)
You're gonna be, you're gonna be my
You're gonna be my girl
You're gonna be, you're gonna be my (always, always)
You're gonna be my girl (you're gonna be my girl, ohh)
