Forever mine,
All because you’re my kind.
Aw, baby,
I got what you want, you got what I want,
An` we were made for each other. (oo-oo)
Forever mine,

`Cause it gets better with time.
Oh, girl
I like what you like, you like what I like,
An` we were made for each other.
Oh, baby,
You are that someone I’ve been hopin`,
I’ve been lookin` for all my days.
Don`t you ever think about leavin`,
This heart of mine would be grievin`.
Don`t go…stay…stay.

Love you so, make it good,
Right down to the bone, to the bone.
`Cause it`s you I`m thinkin` about pleasin`,
Give you all the love you`re needin`.

Forever mine,
`Cause you and me, we get along just fine.

You got what I want (good lovin`),
And we were made for each other.
Aw, we`ve been around
And I’ve had a lot of loves
And I know you had a lot of loves, too
But I ain`t never had nobody
That do the things you do.
We go together,
Well, like the birds in the trees.
I`d be in a round of trouble, girl,
If you wasn’t here with me…stay!
Forever mine
Oh, `cause, `cause you`re my kind.
Oo-oo, baby (baby) baby girl,
You know that I like what you like (good love),
You like what I like (good lovin`),
And we belong together.

And we were made for each other,
For each other, girl,
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, girl.
You know that

(I like what I like) It`s better with time.
We were made for each other, girl
For each other, baby.

So don`t you ever think about leavin`
Oh, baby, oh, girl
