Lyrics
How can I be sure
In a world that’s constantly changin’?
How can I be sure
Where I stand with you?
Whenever I
Whenever I am away from you
I want to die
‘Cause you know I want to stay with you
How do I know?
Maybe you’re trying to use me
Flying too high can confuse me
Touch me but don’t take me down
Whenever I
Whenever I am away from you
My alibi is tellin’ people I don’t care for you
Maybe I’m just hanging around
With my head up, upside down
It’s a pity
I can’t seem to find someone
Who’s as pretty ‘n’ lovely as you
How can I be sure
I really, really, really, want to kno-o-ow
I really, really, really, want to kno-o-ow
How’s the weather?
Weather or not, we’re together
Together we’ll see it much better
I love you, I love you forever
You know where I can be found
How can I be sure
In a world that’s constantly changing?
How can I be sure?
I’ll be sure with you.
