Oh well ah baby aw

You know i've been thru so many changes in my life girl

Aw i've been up real high where i thought i didn't need anybody
Aw and then again i've been down real low where
There was no one in my life who needed me

Aw and i found that material things i thought had so much value
Aw girl didn't really have any value at all


There was a lonely man
A man with no direction with no purpose
With no one to love and no one to love me for for me

Aw girl then you then you came into my life
You made my jagged edges smooth
You made my direction so clear and you aw woman

And for some folks it takes a lifetime sugar
To find in this world a dream come true

Together together together
