Lyrics

[Verse 1] Nobody pays much attention They misuse their time Maybe it's better to mention Moments passing by A secret to tell I got something they don't have And baby it's you that is lifting me high I just wanna be close to you 'Cos I understand The strength of your hand [Chorus] Oh and love that you put me through You're more than a friend [Verse 2] So love me again Baby you're full of affection People stop and smile Maybe they see my intention To make life worthwhile A secret to tell Now there's nothing holding back 'Cos baby it's you that is making me fly I just wanna be close to you 'Cos I understand The strength of your hand [Chorus] Oh and love that you put me through You're more than a friend [Verse 3] So love me again I just wanna be close to you 'Cos I understand The strength of your hand [Chorus] Oh and love that you put me through You're more than a friend [Verse 4] A secret to tell Now there's nothing holding back 'Cos baby it's you that is making me fly Oh baby oh yeah Love that you put me through Love that you put me through I just wanna be close to you 'Cos I understand The strength of your hand [Chorus] Oh and love that you put me through You're more than a friend [Outro] So love me again
