[Verse 1]
We walked through the park holding hands and then you kissed me
I never thought one kiss would change my world so completely
All of my life, I have prayed for a boy like you
A boy like you
[Verse 2]
I understand you had been hurt when you met me
But I'll keep your heart filled with love. if you let me
'Cause all of my life I have prayed for a boy like you
Ooh
[Bridge]
Now everything's okay
Please don't go away
If you do, I'll be through
You'll break my heart
My heart
[Verse 3]
Your kiss is fire and now I burn with a new devotion
I'vе one desire, to givе my love with much emotion
'Cause all of my life I have prayed for a boy like you
Oh baby
[Outro]
(All of my life, I have prayed for a boy)
I've prayed, I've prayed, I've prayed, I've prayed for a boy like you
(All of my life, I have prayed for a boy)
I prayed for a boy like you
(All of my life, I have prayed for a boy)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
We walked through the park holding hands and then you kissed me
I never thought one kiss would change my world so completely
All of my life, I have prayed for a boy like you
A boy like you
[Verse 2]
I understand you had been hurt when you met me
But I'll keep your heart filled with love. if you let me
'Cause all of my life I have prayed for a boy like you
Ooh
[Bridge]
Now everything's okay
Please don't go away
If you do, I'll be through
You'll break my heart
My heart
[Verse 3]
Your kiss is fire and now I burn with a new devotion
I'vе one desire, to givе my love with much emotion
'Cause all of my life I have prayed for a boy like you
Oh baby
[Outro]
(All of my life, I have prayed for a boy)
I've prayed, I've prayed, I've prayed, I've prayed for a boy like you
(All of my life, I have prayed for a boy)
I prayed for a boy like you
(All of my life, I have prayed for a boy)
