I just want to know
That deep down in my soul
I've been thinking
There's a feeling inside
One I cannot deny
Love is waiting
Won't you reach out to me?
I'm the one that you need
Wake up, stop dreaming
Dreaming, baby
Because life is too short
When you're living alone
Are you thinking? (Are you thinking?)

Baby, I'll do my part
Give all the love in my heart
I'm not faking (I'm not faking)
Tell me, how do you feel?
Please say it's for real
Love is waiting (Love is waiting)
Well, understanding's a must
In God we can trust
Wake up, stop dreaming
Dreaming, baby
Because life just drags on
When you're living alone
Are you thinking? (Are you thinking?)

Oh-oh-oh, la-di-da-di-da
Da, da-da-da-da-da-da
Oh-oh-oh, la-di-da-di-da
Da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da

Don't you know?
Don't you know?
That we can make it better?
All we got to do (All we got to do)
All we got to do (all we got to do) is come together

I just want to know
That deep down in my soul
I've been thinking (I've been thinking)
Got to learn to be fair
In your life
You must share
Love is waiting (Love is waiting)
Won't you reach out to me?
I'm the one that you need
Wake up, stop dreaming
Dreaming, baby
'Cause life is too short
And I'd hate to resort
To thinking (To thinking)

Oh-oh-oh
La-di-da-di-da
Da, da-da
Da-da-da-da
Oh-oh-oh, la-di-da-di-da
Da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Oh-oh-oh
La-di-da-di-da
Da, da-da
Da-da-da-da
Oh, la-di-da-di-da
Da, da-da-da
Da-da-da-da

So you better start thinking
About the things you do
So you better start thinking, yeah
About me and you

So you better start thinking, yeah
About the things you say
Oh, la-di-da-di-da
Da, da-da-da-da-da

Thinking, yeah
Thinking, yeah
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, yeah
La-di-da-di-da
Da-da-da-da-da
