[Verse 1]
I heard lightning don't strike twice
Could you be the man of my dreams?
Oh, nothing like with your hand on my thigh
But my heart doesn't mind
I see you on every corner
Twist and I turn
Never learn, sleep, don't wanna tell you
Hold me again, I don't care where you been
Just wanna know where I stand

[Chorus]
Dearly beloved, if I had my way
You'd be here to stay
Oh, believe me, beloved, if I had my way
You'd be here to stay

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I stare when I don't mean to
Do you realise?
You never seem to open your eyes
When I'm here and I'm trying
You don't know what it's like

[Chorus]
Dearly beloved, if I had my way
You'd be here to stay
Oh, believe, believe me, beloved, if I had my way
You woulda had yours in the first place
[Bridge]
These little notes get sweeter
Sweeter than most
I see you reaching for hope
You hear me say

[Chorus]
Dearly beloved, if I had my way
You'd be here, you'd be here to stay
Oh, believe me, beloved
