Lonely child you make it easy
You give me love like no one can
You’re my heart, you keep me movin’
It seems you always understand
My love, I’m your man

Lonely child you make me happy
You take my fears and set them free
Every night you hold me closer
Like two notes in harmony
Come spend your life with me

Lonely child be my lover
We’ll make love in the morning light
Weave your magic spell around me
And come spend your life with me
