[Verse 1: Natasha]
I will rock you like a baby, lover
Cradled in my arms
I will keep you safe from danger
Shelter you from harm
There will never be another lover
Who treats you like I do
We can drift into forever
On a love that's made for two

[Pre-Chorus: Natasha]
Don't you ever say this loves not special
Don't you ever think it's not essential, baby

[Chorus: All]
I was only thinking of you
Hoping you were thinking of me
Two hearts beating just like one
Against the world, baby
I am always dreaming of you
Hoping you are dreaming of me
I could never live
One day without your love

[Verse 2: Natasha]
I will kiss you like an angel, baby
Cradled in my wings
I will take you up to heaven
Show you precious things
If you promise that you love me
If you promise that you care
I will be here for you always
And forever this I swear

[Pre-Chorus: Natasha]
Don't you ever say this loves not special
Don't you ever think it's not essential, baby

[Chorus: All]
I was only thinking of you
Hoping you were thinking of me
Two hearts beating just like one
Against the world, baby
I am always dreaming of you
Hoping you are dreaming of me
I could never live one day
Without your love...

[Bridge: Natasha]
Now you say you want a love
But you don't think you believe it
Just open up your heart
And you know you will receive it
Oh baby, baby
Don't you ever say this loves not special, no
Don't you ever think it's not essential, baby

[Chorus: All]
I was only thinking of you
Hoping you were thinking of me
Two hearts beating just like one
Against the world, baby
I am only dreaming of you
Hoping you are dreaming of me
I could never live one day
Without your love

Atomic Kitten are an English girl group formed in Liverpool in 1998 and put together by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) frontman Andy McCluskey, who served as a principal songwriter during their early years. The original line-up consisted of Kerry Katona, Liz McClarnon and Heidi Range. Range was later replaced by Natasha Hamilton and eventually went on to join Sugababes.

The group’s debut album Right Now was released in October 2000 and peaked at number 39 in the UK. After four top ten singles, Katona quit the group and was replaced by former Precious singer Jenny Frost. “Whole Again” (recorded before Katona left), their next single, became their most successful song when it topped the UK singles chart for four weeks and became the 13th best-selling single of the 2000s. The group re-released their debut album, with some tracks re-recorded with Frost’s vocals. In the UK, the album hit number one, going double platinum after selling over 600,000 copies.

Between 2002 and 2004, the group released a further two studio albums, Feels So Good (which also went double platinum in the UK) and Ladies Night, and a greatest hits album before announcing a break following their 2004 tour.
