[Verse 1]
Before there was a you and me
My life was like a real bad dream
I wasn't trying to believe in us
Now I can see the midnight sun
Somehow we need this to become one
And now it seems that I can't get enough
I know now

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm living to please you more
Whenever I walk out that door
I do what I have to do
'Til I can get back to you

[Chorus]
When we touch
When your skin touches my skin, it's too much
When I'm near it seems like the time stops
My guard drops
And I didn't see it coming
But from somewhere right out of the blue
Girl, I never meant to love you
But I do
Girl, I never meant to love you
But I do

[Verse 2]
You didn't give us half a chance
And now we got a true romance
I think we found that so amazing love
It's like we're living in a dream
What's better than you and me?
And now the whole wide world can see it's love, oh oh

[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need much from myself
Just you and nobody else
Everything, everything I do
I do it all for you

[Chorus]
When we touch
When your skin touches my skin, it's too much
When I'm near it seems like the time stops
My guard drops
And I didn't see it coming
But from somewhere right out of the blue
Girl, I never meant to love you
But I do
Girl, I never meant to love you
But I do

[Bridge]
And I can see the sun begin to shine
I'll wipe all the tears from your eyes
'Til you forget back in the day
When somebody broke your heart
That's why you didn't want to start
Maybe your heart had to break to get you to here
And now you gotta know how much I need you
I promise you I'll never leave you

[Chorus]
When we touch
When your skin touches my skin, it's too much
When I'm near it seems like the time stops
My guard drops
And I didn't see it coming
But from somewhere right out of the blue
Girl, I never meant to love you
But I do (I do)
Girl, I never meant to love
Girl, I never meant to love
Girl, I never meant to love you
But I do
