Let me say that since, baby

Since we've been together

Ooh, loving you forever is all I need

Let me be the one you come running to

I'll never be untrue

Oh, baby let's

Let's stay together

Loving you whether, whether

Times are good or bad, happy or sad

I'm so in love with you

Whatever you want to do

Is alright with me

You make me feel so brand new

I want to spend my whole life with you

Let me say that since, baby

Since we've been together

Ooh, loving you forever is all I need

Let me be the one you come running to

I'll never be untrue

Oh baby, let's

Let's stay together

Loving you whether, whether

Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Good or bad, happy or sad

Why, oh tell me

Why do people break up?

Ooh then turn around and make up

I just can't deceive

You'd never do that to me

Would you baby?

'Cause being around you

Is all I see

So baby

Let's, we oughta stay together

Loving you whether, whether

Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Let's, whoo (let's stay together) stay together

Loving you whether, whether

Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Never need to chase off with me, oh baby

Let's (let's stay together) stay together

Loving you whether, whether

Good or bad, happy or sad

Good or bad, happy or sad

Let's try to stay together

Loving you whether, whether

Good or bad, happy or sad
