Thought I'd Died and Gone to Heaven Lyrics

Love is forever - as I lie awake Beside you I believed - there's no heaven No hideaway - for the lonely But I was wrong - crazy It's gotta be strong It's gotta be right Only wanted to stay a while Only wanted to play a while Then you taught me to fly like a bird Baby - thought I'd died and gone to heaven Such a night I never had before Thought I'd died and gone to heaven Cause what I got there ain't no cure for Ooo it's so easy What you do to me all night angel I never loved - I swear to God Never needed no one, 'til you came along Here I come baby It's gotta be strong - it's gotta be right Only wanted to stay awhile Only wanted to play awhile Then you taught me to fly like a bird Baby - thought I'd died and gone to heaven Such a night I never had before Thought I'd died and gone to heaven Cause what I got there ain't no cure for I feel fast asleep - I feel drunk I dream the sweetest dreams Never wanna wake up Never thought it could be this way No doubt about it - can't live without it Never thought it could be this good You made love to me - the way it oughta be
