You know i wouldn't lie to you
Never would, you better believe me
I'll never say goodbye to you
Oh girl, as long as you need me
Trust me, baby you're the only one
Trust me, don't let me be the lonely one
I'm happy when I'm near to you
Yeah its true
It gets even better
Someone else could ever try for me
You would see
That i wouldn't let her
Trust me, baby you're the only one
Trust me, don't let me be the lonely one
Something happened baby in my life
The minute i saw you
All the others faded from my life
The minute i saw you
Hold me, hold me
All i wanna do is kiss your baby face
Hold me, hold me
I wanna wrap you in my arms so i know you're safe
So i know you're safe
I've waited all my life for you
Yeah it's true, you better believe me
There ain't nothin i would hide from you
Trust my heart, you're all that i needed
Trust me, baby you're the only one
Trust me, don't let me be the lonely one
Something happened baby in my life
The minute i saw you
All the others faded from my life
The minute i saw you
Hey
Nothing mattered in my life
Till the minute i saw you
All the others faded from my life
The minute i saw you
Hold me, hold me
All i wanna do is kiss your baby face
Hold me, hold me
I wanna wrap you in my arms so i know you're safe
So i know you're safe
Repeat chorus

John Parr (born 18 November 1952) is a Grammy-nominated English musician, best known for his 1985 US #1 single “St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion)” and for his 1984 single “Naughty Naughty” (US Rock #1). Parr was nominated for a Grammy award for “St Elmo’s Fire” in 1985.

Parr first entered the music scene when he was 12 years old and formed a band with two fellow schoolmates, which they named The Silence. The band had achieved some success. They eventually became professional and started to tour Europe. He then joined a band named Bitter Suite who were a huge success in the working men’s clubs in Yorkshire, he then formed a “Super Band” with musicians from other working men’s club bands, and named the band Ponders End , a band that set a new precedent for the bands in the north.

Parr secured a publishing deal with Carlin America in 1983 and in the same year Meat Loaf asked him to write some songs for his new album. It led to a fateful meeting with John Wolff, who was tour manager for The Who. Foreseeing the initial demise of The Who, Wolff was looking for a new venture and considered Parr to be a suitable partner. Parr first visited America in 1984 and worked with Meat Loaf on Bad Attitude. Meanwhile, Wolff secured Parr’s solo Atlantic recording deal in New York.
