[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
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
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

[Refrain]
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
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

M.Y.M.P are a five-man band from the Philippines known for their infectious, acoustic pop ballads that gained local notoriety in the mid-2000s.

Founded in 1995 by Chin Alcantara when he made the band name as a tribute to his deceased mother, the band remained in relative obscurity until they were discovered by Raymund Ryan Santes, a station manager of a local radio station, 93.9 iFM. Upon being discovered and signing to Ivory Music, the band shelled out five studio albums (Soulful Acoustic, Beyond Acoustic, Versions, New Horizon, Now) and a live album (Live at the Music Museum). Some of the hits that came out of this period were songs such as “Tell Me Where It Hurts”, and “Kailan”.

The band is known for having a rotating cast of members aside from Chin Alcantara. As of 2020, they’ve had a total of four different vocalists. Nina, Juris Fernandez, and Jana Laraza previously performed female vocals for the band. Their current lead female vocalist is Carmela Ravanilla.
