Lyrics
- Cupid’s dart pierced my heart, when I first met you
Now it seems my love dreams have at last come true
No one yet, that I’ve met thrilled me with a glance
No other one ‘neath the sun, stands a chance
Chorus
Just because you’re you, that’s why I love you
Just because you’re you, what more can I say?
I’ve lost my appetite, can’t sleep a wink at night
My mind’s not working right
And you made me this way
Something in your style won me completely
That I’d fall so deep in love I never knew
And still the reason’s very simple
It’s not your smile or dimple
It’s just because you’re you
- Hours fly when you’re nigh, angel from above
When you’re gone they seem long, proving I’m in love
Let’s away don’t delay, apple of my eye
I’ll live for you, love you true, this is why
