Ooooooh…mmm…mmm…
Extra! Extra!
I’m in love
I gotta thank my luck stars above
Hurry, hurry don’t be late
Cause I can’t wait
I gotta celebrate
It’s a fact
We got a first rate act
It’s evident when we make love
The main event
You’re my every thought
You’re my own attraction
You must be heaven’s saint
You give me so much satisfaction
(You’re the one)
You make life worth fighting for
You’re the one-ah!
And there is nobody quite like you
Baby, you’re the one…
Extra! Extra!
I’m in love
I gotta thank my luck stars above
Hurry, hurry don’t be late
I can’t wait
I gotta celebrate
It’s a fact
We got a first rate act
It’s evident when we make love
The main event
You’re my everything
And it’s my conclusion
There is no sweeter scent
When you have found the right solution
(You’re the one)
You make life worth fighting for
You’re the one-ah!
And there is nobody quite like you
Honey, you’re the one

With love you might succeed
(Fight!) Come on and fight!
(Fight!) Fight for what you want
Fight! Fight for what is real
Fight to keep the one you love
If love is what you feel

Don’t try to kick me when I’m down
No love-ah!
Cause I’m gonna lift you every round

Look out kid cause I’m a-comin’

So put up your dukes and fight
(Fight! Fight!)

Love…
Don’t try to kick me when I’m down

My feet are planted on the ground
Love…ah…ah!
You’re gonna give up without a sound
(Keep it comin’, keep it comin’)
Look out kid cause love’s a-comin’
