Lyrics

Lime - Unexpected lovers How can there be no love No feeling of passion too The way we were dancin' love How could it be I'm through *We spend the night together Until the morning light Baby do you remember The music in our eyes Such an enchanting evening A lovers romantic night The moon and stars are leavin' The sea was glowing bright *Repeat **We were unexpected lovers Not just ordinary lovers Sharing unexpected lover My true love **Repeat We love like no other lovers like no other lovers do The way we kissed each other And help each other too *Repeat When will we ever love again And share another night Should we ever meet again To love each other right *Repeat **Repeat (2 times)
