Todd Rundgren
Mated (Bossa Nova Version)
[Verse 1]
Everyone asks are we some kind of lovers?
Everyone asks what you're doing with me
I know this is not what they want
They're afraid you've been blinded
But I already know how it's going to be

[Chorus 1]
If anyone should ask say we're mated
For as long as this life lasts, we are mated
Why else would you be here right now
And you know we'll still be here tomorrow

[Verse 2]
Nobody else understands what I'm doing
Nobody else makes me act in this way
And because they can't comprehend
What we mean to each other
They won't leave you alone so you know what to say

[Chorus 1]
If anyone should ask say we're mated
For as long as this life lasts, we are mated
Why else would you be here right now
And you know we'll still be here tomorrow
[Chorus 2]
I hold you in my heart 'cause we're mated
In a very special part we are mated
Why else would I be here right now?
And you know I'll still be here tomorrow

[Bridge]
I see things far ahead, maybe light
Maybe beautiful children
I don't have words I'm thinking of
But it's way beyond what they call love

[Chorus 1]
And if anyone should ask say we're mated
For as long as this life lasts, we are mated
Why else would you be here right now
And you know we'll still be here tomorrow

[Chorus 2]
I hold you in my heart 'cause we're mated
In a very special part for we are mated
Why else would I be here right now?
And you know I'll still be here tomorrow

[Outro]
We are mated
For the rest of your life and mine
Why else would I be here right now?
And you know I'll still be here tomorrow
I hold you in my heart
We are mated
Right now, right now, right now
