I could be your perfect girl, all right
And when we grow older
We'll still be friends
We'll could still be lovers

And it all looks better in the place we made believe
Hearts keep pumping and there's one thing
That keeps me breathing
Is the mentor I've seen and face I'll always see

I can only love you more
I can only love you more
Ah, ah, ah, ah
