Lyrics

You're just too good to be true

Can't keep my eyes off of you You feel like heaven to touch I wanna hold you so much At long last love has arrived And I thank God I'm alive You're just too good to be true Can't take my eyes off you

Pardon the way that I stare There's nothing else to compare The sight of you makes me weak There are no words left to speak But if you feel like I feel Please let me know that it's real You're just too good to be true Can't take my eyes off of you

I love you, baby And if it's quite all right I need you, baby To warm the lonely nights I love you, baby Trust in me when I say Oh, pretty baby Don't bring me down, I pray Oh, pretty baby Now that I found you, stay And let me love you, baby Let me love you

You're just too good to be true Can't keep my eyes off of you You feel like heaven to touch I wanna hold you so much At long last love has arrived And I thank God I'm alive You're just too good to be true Can't take my eyes off of you

I love you, baby And if it's quite all right I need you, baby To warm the lonely nights I love you, baby Trust in me when I say Oh, pretty baby Don't bring me down, I pray Oh, pretty baby Now that I found you this day Let me love you, baby Let me love you
