I've seen your face a thousand times
Have all your stories memorized
I've kissed your lips a million ways
But I still love to have you around

I've held you too many times to count
I thinkI know you inside out
And we're together most days
But I still love to have you around

You're the one I want,
And it's not just phase
You're the one I trust
Our love is the real thing

Don't go away
My love (my love)
I want you to stay
In my life
Don't go away
My lover (my love)
I'm happiest when we spend time

You're a salty water ocean wave
You knock me down
You kiss my face
I know the storms will always come
But I still love to have you around

Heaven knows what will come next
So emotional
You're so complex
A rollercoaster built to crash
But I still love to have you around

You're the one I want,
And it's not just phase
You're the one I trust
Our love is the real thing

Don't go away
My love (my love)
I want you to stay
In my life
Don't go away
My lover (my love)
I'm happiest when we spend time It's only you and I

It's you there when I close my eyes
And you in the morning
I never thought you'd still be mine
Or I'd really need to have you around

Don't go away
My love (my love)
I want you to stay
In my life
Don't go away
My lover (my love)
I need you
You're my love supply

Don't go away
My love (you're my love supply)
I want you to stay
In my life (every day, every night)
Don't go away
My love (you're my love supply)
I need you
You're my love supply
