Lyrics 

The very first time that I saw your brown eyes

Your lips said “Hello” and I said “Hi”

I knew right then you were the one

But I was caught up

In physical attraction

But to my satisfaction

Baby, you were more than just a phase

And if I ever (Ever fall)

In love again (Again)

I will be sure that the lady is a friend

And if I ever (Ever fall)

In love so true (So true)

I will be sure that the lady’s just like you

Oh, yeah, yeah, y-y-y-yeah

The very next time she’ll be my friend

If I say that I could be your one and only

(Promise, promise, promise)

Promise that you’ll never leave me lonely

I just wanna be the one you need

Oh, baby

I just wanna be the one to serve you

Sometimes, I feel as if I don’t deserve you

I cherish every moment that we share

And if I ever (Ever fall)

In love again (Again)

I will be sure that the lady is a friend

And if I ever (Ever fall)

In love so true (So true)

I will be sure that the lady’s just like you

Very next time she will be my friend

Someone who I can believe in

(My friend)

Very next time she will be my friend

Someone who I can believe in

(My friend)

Very next time she will be my friend

Someone who I can believe in

Very next time she will be my friend

And if I ever (Ever fall)

In love again (Again)

I will be sure that the lady is a friend

And if I ever (Ever fall)

In love so true (So true)

I will be sure that the lady’s just like you
