Lyrics

If I could grant you one wish
I’d wish you could see the way you kiss
Oooh, I love watching you
Baby
When you’re driving me, crazy
Oooh, I love the way you
Love the way you love me
There’s nowhere else I’d rather be
Oooh, to feel the way I, feel with your arms around me
I only wish that you could see, the way you love me
The way you love me
It’s not right, it’s not fair
What you’re missing over there
Someday I’ll find a way to show you
Just how lucky I am, to know you
Oooh, I love the way you
Love the way you love me
There’s nowhere else I’d rather be
Oooh, to feel the way I, feel with your arms around me
I only wish that you could see, the way you love me
Ohhh, the way you love me
You’re the million reasons why
There’s love reflecting in my eyes
Oooh, I love the way you
Love the way you love me
There’s nowhere else I’d rather be
Oooh, to feel the way I, feel with your arms around me
I only wish that you could see, the way you love me
The way you love me
Oooh, the way you love me
The way you love me
The way you love me
Ooh I love the way you love me
Ooh I love the way you love me
Ooh I love the way you love me
