Lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off you
You’d be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so muchAt long last love has arrived
And I thank God I’m alive
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off youPardon the way that I stare
There’s nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speakBut if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it’s real
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off you

I love you, baby
And if it’s quite alright, I need you, baby
To warm a lonely night, I love you, baby
Trust in me when I say

Oh, pretty baby
Don’t bring me down, I pray, oh pretty baby
Now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you

You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off you
You’d be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much

At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I’m alive
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off you

I love you, baby
And if it’s quite alright I need you, baby
To warm a lonely night, I love you, baby
Trust in me when I say

Oh, pretty baby
Don’t bring me down, I pray, oh pretty baby
Now that I found you, stay, oh pretty baby
Trust in me when I say

Oh, pretty baby
