[Verse 1]
I never knew a man would be so lonely
The life of a treated man so wrong
But when the odds were all against me
You gave me the strength to carry on
You gave me a new start, so I will give you my heart

[Chorus]
You, you are my life, you're all I am
Baby it's you, you are my life, you're all I am
Only you can understand the way I am

[Verse 2]
You never give me enough of your love
I need more and more each day
Honey, can't you see the only thing I can be sure of
Is that something real has come my way
Oh, so I believe my heart, though sometimes it tears me apart

[Chorus][x2]

The name of the band Foreigner was chosen because half of the original members were from England, and the other half from the U.S. The group had quite a few people join and leave, but one of the originals, Mick Jones, (not Mick Jagger) stayed the whole time. Foreigner celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2017, with Mick still there.
