[Verse 1]
We were two little people wrapped up in this big old world
Drifting round in space out of place just a boy and girl
Then you took my hand and made me a part of you
And I looked in your heart
And saw all my dreams come true

[Pre-Chorus]
You did the impossible
You rescued my love
You did the impossible
See, I had almost given up

[Chorus 1]
And now I love ya like summer time, love ya like cherry wine
Love ya like free money, like a preacher loves Sunday
Love ya like freeze pop, love ya like a milk shake
Love ya like a high school girl on a first date
Love ya like shootin' stars, love ya like a muscle car
Love ya like we're destined
Love ya like my lover and my best friend
Yeah, you did the impossible

[Verse 2]
Tonight I'm gonna need all your attention
Close the door
I wanna do things I probably shouldn't mention
Like a bird I'm gon' hum
Those three words, I love you, I love you, I love you
Freeze the time, let the world go by
If you're mine say, you love me, you love me, you love me
Boy take my hand and make me a part of you
And the love that you gave to me has pulled me through

[Pre-Chorus]
You did the impossible
You rescued my love
You did the impossible
See, I had almost given up

[Chorus 2]
And now I love ya like sunsets, bubble baths on the jet
Love ya like Kool-aid, Louis Millionaire shades
Love ya like sugar daddys, love ya like a pimp caddy
Love ya like a holiday Duncan Hines yellow cake
Love ya like it's 5 am and I'm off work
(Okay so it's 5 am...)
Love ya like Louboutin heels and a mini skirt
Love ya like an asher cut pink and white engagement ring
Love ya like layin' in a bed bumpin Jodeci

[Bridge]
And I'm forever your lady
Laying in the bed bumpin' Jodeci
And I'm forever your lady
Laying in the bed bumpin' Jodeci
And I'm forever your lady
(I love you like the sunsets in the evening)
Laying in the bed bumpin' Jodeci
(Like the shooting stars)
And I'm forever your lady
(Yeah, I love you)
Laying in the bed bumpin' Jodeci
(Oh, you did the impossible)

[Outro]
I'd almost given up
The impossible

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
