  • (Ready?)
    One, two, three, four

    This is it, here I stand
    I'm the light of the world
    I'll feel grand
    Got this love, I can feel
    And I know, yes for sure
    It is real

    And it feels as though I've seen your face a thousand times
    And you said you really know me too yourself
    And I know that you have got addicted with your eyes
    But you say you're gonna leave it for yourself
    Oh
    I never heard a single word about you
    Falling in love wasn't my plan (my plan)
    I never thought that I would be your lover
    Come on, babe, just understand

    This is it
    I can say
    I'm the light of the world
    Run away
    We can feel
    This is real
    Every time I'm in love that I heal

    And I feel as though I've known you since a thousand years
    And you tell me that you've seen my face before
    And you said to me you don't want me hanging around
    Many times, wanna do it here before
    Oh yeah
    I never heard a single word about you
    Falling in love wasn't my plan (my plan)
    I never thought that I would be your lover
    Come on, babe, just understand

    This is it
    I can feel
    I'm the light of the world
    This is real
    Feel my song
    We can say
    And I tell you can lead that way

    And I feel as though I've known you for a thousand years
    And you said you saw my face yourself
    And you said want to go with me all the while
    And I know that it's really for myself
    Oh yeah
    I never heard a single word about you
    Falling in love wasn't my plan (my plan)
    I never thought that I would be your lover
    Come on, please, dear understand (understand)

    I never heard a single word about you
    Falling in love wasn't my plan (my plan)
    I never thought that I would be your lover
    Come on, dear, please understand

    Oh yeah
    Never heard a single word about you
    Falling in love wasn't my plan (my plan)
    I never thought that I would be your lover
    Come on, please dear, understand (understand)

    (Word about you)
    (My plan)
    (Be your lover)
