The potential of you and me
It's like a book elegantly bound, but
In a language that you can't read just yet You got to spend some time, love
You got to spend some time with me
And I know that you'll find love
I will possess your heart”

You just have to know that it's yours, and then be willing to let it go.”

Always chasing some exotic bird

But baby you make me feel so free.”
