Girl, oh you came to me
Touched my life
Girl, how you sheltered me
Touched my life
It’s the joy, you gave to me
When I was on my own, alone

Girl, your lips touching mine
Ooh so fine
Girl, softly touching me
Ooh so fine

She’s the smile in my heart that sings
I’s a song for you again
ooh, she opened up the door
She made my life once more
Yes she opened
Ooh, you opened up the door
Ya made my life once more
