Intro

Verse 1

Babe, tomorrow's so far away.

 There's somethin' I just have to say.

 I don't think I could hide

 what I'm feelin' inside - another day

 knowin' I love you.

Verse 2

 And I, I'm gettin' too close again.

I don't wanna see it end.

 If I could tell you tonight,

 will you turn out the light - and walk away

 knowin' I love you?

Chorus

 I'm gonna take you by surprise

 and make you realize, Amanda.

 I'm gonna tell you right away;

 I can't wait another day, Amanda.

 I'm gonna say it like a man

 and make you understand, Amanda. (second time: Oh, girl.)

 I love you. (not sung second time)

Verse 3

And, I feel like today's the day

 I'm lookin' for the words to say.

 Do you wanna be free?

 Are you ready for me - to feel this way?

 I don't wanna lose ya.

Verse 4

So, it may be too soon, I know.

 The feelin' takes so long to grow.

 If I tell you today

 will you turn me away - and let me go?

 I don't wanna lose you.

You and I, I know that we can't wait.

 And I swear, I swear it's not a lie, girl.

 we can share a life together.

 It's now or never,

 and tomorrow may be too late.

Oh. Ooo Oh Ooo Oh.

And, feelin' the way I do,
