[Verse 1: Peter Cetera]
I've never been in love before
Not like this you taught me more
How among myself will I
Lift up on myself and cry
'Cause I thought I could not give
My thought would not let me live
How my feeling disappeared

[Verse 2: Peter Cetera]
You are the lovely reason I
Am alive, you satisfy
All my senses and you give
Me the confidence to grow
In a thousand different ways
Happy just to spend the days
Of my lifetime by your side

[Chorus: Peter Cetera]
I want to be
Everything that I can
I want so much
To be more of a man

[Post-Chorus: Peter Cetera]
I want to grow
I want to know you better
Each day I'll try
To love you
'Cause I've never been in love before
[Verse 3: Peter Cetera]
You have a friend for life in me
If we ever disagree
If you have to go away
I will set you free with joy
'Cause your happiness is mine
May your light forever shine
May you always feel free

[Chorus: Peter Cetera]
I want to be
Everything that I can
I want so much
To be more of a man

[Post-Chorus: Peter Cetera]
I want to live
I want to give my lifetime
Each day I'll try
To love you
'Cause I've never been in love before
