It hurt when I looked at her--

It hurt when I looked at her--
It hurt when I looked at her--

It hurt when I looked at her--
It hurt when I looked at her--
It hurt when I looked at her--

There's this boy
Of course there is
This is how it starts

Your eyes meet
Something changes in his face
Something you just can't place
Something special and new

You say you don't deserve him
When you do more than you know

So dear Marie
Listen to me when I say
You  deserve to be happy
In every way

Feeling of being close to someone
Sharing the secrets all along
The timid smile on the face
Thinking of him, the heart race

The sensation of love is wonderful
Life will become just beautiful
No matter where the story goes
Let it flow as it comes along

Love doesn’t see the barrier
Thousands of Miles Sea apart
Who knows what love has to offer
You will always be the trooper

Thinking of being in his arms
Swept away by his alluring charm
It is weird and funny
Heart behaves like a little bunny

There is no point of being sad
When you know there is a lad
Who is waiting as much as you are
To come and heal all your scar

Its just a moment of patience
Everyone will find the essence
Let the love touch your soul
Let it free and make you whole….

You talk to me like I’m a complete stranger.
You reply like you don’t have any interest in talking to me.
You think I’m crazy everytime I hug you.
You want to avoid seeing you.

Suddenly,

You would ask if I already had my meal.
You would flood me with funny messages.
You would say you miss me.
You would tell that you love me.


How would you want me to feel? To feel that I am special? That I have some place in your list?

No-

Everything you ever wanted was to keep me when everything you have is lost, and to throw me away when everything you ever wanted is in your hands.

We kissed, we touched.
We held each others hands, we laughed.
We told stories about our past, shared the same dreams of our future.
We continued to fight for something, even if nothing was there.

Then there came that time of the day, that I need to say farewell.
I’ll never bid goodbye ‘coz it is like slipping away.
But what aches my heart is that I forgot-
The limit that I have, the words I hadn't said enough.

“I love you…” I said.
And you walked away- while I absorbed what I’ve said.
Just those precious words that I pray I could tell you everyday.

I wish I was happy to tell you how I felt-
But what made it worse is that I felt sorry, for I know it’s wrong and you won’t like it that way.

When you find her love her
Hold her real tight
Get her coffee in the morning
Keep her warm at night
The last thing that you ever want
Is to drive that girl away
So when you find her love her and
She will always stay.

Might take lots of lookin’
Good woman’s hard to find
Admit it man,
You and me, we ain’t no prize of any kind.
We’re rough around the edges
Ain’t got no smooth lines
So when you find her love her
And she will treat you fine.

Yeah, when you find her love her
Hold her real tight
Get her coffee in the morning
Keep her warm at night
The last thing that you ever want
Is to drive that girl away
So when you find her love her and
She will always stay.

See women they are wary
Far as menfolk are concerned
Seems somewhere in their lifetime
Most all of them’s been burned.
She’s gonna look right through you
Deep into your soul,
So when you find her love her
And she will make you whole.

Yeah, when you find her love her
Hold her real tight
Get her coffee in the morning
Keep her warm at night
The last thing that you ever want
Is to drive that girl away
So when you find her love her and
She will always stay.

She might have some baggage
Made a wrong turn or two
Better look into the rearview mirror
King of baggage might be you!
Then both you go and pack those bags
In the trunk of that used car
And read the map together
So you both know where you are.

Yeah, when you find her love her
Hold her real tight
Get her coffee in the morning
Keep her warm at night
The last thing that you ever want
Is to drive that girl away
So when you find her love her and
She will always stay.

Last thing that you ever want
Is to drive that girl away
So when you find her love her
And she will always stay.

Yeah drive away together
Bags packed and stored away
When you find her love her
And she will always stay.
