The lyrics:

Fortunately you have got

someone who relies on you

we started out as friends

but the thought of you just caves me in

the synptoms are so deep

it is much to late to turn away

we started out as friends

CHORUS

Sign your name

across my heart

i want you to be my baby

Sign your name

across my heart

i want you to be my lady

Time i'm sure will bring

disappointments in so many things

it seems to be the way

when your gambling cards on love you play

i'd rather be in hell with you baby

than in cool heaven

it seems to be the way

CHORUS

Birds never look intothe sun

before the day is done

but oh the light shines brighter

on a peaceful day

stranger blue leave us alone

we don't want to deal with you

we'll shed our stains showering

in the room that makes the rain

All alone with you

makes the butterflies in me arise

slowly we make love

and the earth rotates

to our dictates

slowly we make love
