[Intro]
Cherish, cherish

[Verse 1]
So tired of broken hearts and losing at this game
Before I start this dance
I take a chance in telling you
I want more than just romance
You are my destiny
I can't let go, baby, can't you see?
Cupid, please take your aim at me

[Chorus]
Cherish the thought
Of always having you here by my side
Oh baby, I cherish the joy
You keep bringing it into my life
I'm always singing it, cherish your strength
You got the power to make me feel good
And baby, I perish the thought
Of ever leaving, I never would

[Verse 2]
I was never satisfied with casual encounters
I can't hide my need
For two hearts that bleed
With burning love
That's the way it's got to be
Romeo and Juliet, they never felt this way I bet
So don't underestimate my point of view

[Chorus]
Cherish the thought
Of always having you here by my side
Oh baby, I cherish the joy
You keep bringing it into my life
I'm always singing it, cherish your strength
You got the power to make me feel good
And baby, I perish the thought
Of ever leaving, I never would

[Bridge]
Who? You! Can't get away, I won't let you
Who? You! I could never forget to
Cherish is the word I use to remind me of your love

[Interlude]
You're givin' it
You're givin' it to me boy
Keep giving me all-all-all your joy
Give me faith
I will always cherish you

Romeo and Juliet, they never felt this way I bet
So don't underestimate my point of view

[Bridge]
Who? You! Can't get away, I won't let you
Who? You! I could never forget to
Cherish is the word I use to remind me of your love

[Chorus]
Cherish the thought
Of always having you here by my side
Oh baby, I cherish the joy
You keep bringing it into my life
I'm always singing it, cherish your strength
You got the power to make me feel good
And baby, I perish the thought
Of ever leaving, I never would

[Interlude]
Cherish
Give me faith
Give me joy, my boy
I will always cherish you
Give me faith
Give me joy, my boy
I will always cherish you
Cherish your strength (You're givin' it, you're givin' it to me boy, keep giving me all your joy) Can't get away, I won't let you
Perish the thought (You're givin' it, you're givin' it to me boy, keep giving me all your joy) I could never forget to

[Outro]
Cherish the thought (Give me faith, give me joy)
(My boy I will always cherish you) (Can't get away, can't get away)
Cherish the joy (Give me faith, give me joy)
(My boy I will always cherish you) (Can't get away, can't get away)
Cherish your strength (You're givin' it)
(You're givin' it to me boy) (Can't get away, can't get away)
(Keep giving me all your joy)
Perish the thought (You're givin' it)
(You're givin' it to me boy) (Can't get away, can't get away)
(Keep giving me all your joy)
Cherish the thought (Give me faith, give me joy)
(My boy I will always cherish you) (Can't get away, can't get away)
Cherish the joy (Give me faith, give me joy)
(My boy I will always cherish you)
