[Intro]
Shoop dada, shoop-shoop dada
Shoop dada, shoop-shoop dada
(Oh, okay — you got me singin')

[Chorus]
Because of love I know you better
Because of love we are together
Because of love you have my heart
Because of love we'll never part

[Verse 1]
When I first met you
I knew that
My life would never be the same
And I knew
That you felt it too
I'd never feel alone again, boy
'Cause your love makes me feel so secure
You got me singin'

[Chorus]
Because of love I know you better
Because of love we are together
Because of love you have my heart
Because of love we'll never part
Because of love I know you better
Because of love we are together
Because of love you have my heart
Because of love we'll never part

[Verse 2]
I don't care what people say
You're the one that brings me so much joy
When I look
At your smiling eyes my heart wants to dance, boy
There's only you
On my mind
And I never wanna leave your side
It feels right
So let's stay together
I'll never feel alone again, boy
'Cause your love makes me feel so secure
You got me singin'

[Chorus]
Because of love I know you better
Because of love we are together
Because of love you have my heart
Because of love we'll never part

[Bridge]
It's 'cause of love
We've shared great memories
The way you make me feel, wee ooh
It's cause of love, I feel so high
I don't need nobody else
Because of love
Because of love

Be-be-because of
Be-be-because of
Be-be-because of love I know you better
Be-be-because of
Be-be-because of love I know you better
Because of love

[Chorus]
Because of love I know you better
Because of love we are together
Because of love you have my heart
Because of love we'll never part
Because of love I know you better
