Who are you
Where you been
How’d you come into my life
I just know once you get started
Girl, I been throwin’ my heart in
You’re just like walkin’ in a danger zone
A chance I just had to take
You’re like a drink I needed so bad and found

If no one pulled my head back in time, I would drown
Oh, I get lost in your eyes
I crossed the line for you so long ago
Now I find truth in your lies

You got me cornered with my back to the wall
Takes all I’ve got just to hold on
Through all the disappointment
Love still remains

Darling, you’re made that way
Girl, you’re made that way
“You were just a lonely man
Living through your empty plans”

I know you’re made that way
I know you’re made that way

Say it please
Say you will
Come back and be in my life
Girl, if you just put your heart in it

No one could stop us once we get started
Well, I get tired of living for your applause
And putting my happiness in your hands
Well, I don’t know what you’re expecting of me
What you want for me to be, I will be

I know you’re made that way
I know you’re made that way
