[Intro]
Ah yeah, Tony Thompson and The Characters
Nitro and a little vintage flavor
From the old school to the new
Yo T, set it off...
La la la la la la, la la la la la la
[Verse 1]
My cherie amour, lovely as a summer day
My cherie amour, distant as the milky way
My cherie amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only one my heart beats for
Won't you say that you'll be mine
[Verse 2]
In a cafe or sometimes on a crowded street
I've been near you, but you never noticed me
Oh, cherie amour, won't you tell me how could you ignore
That behind the little smile I wore
How I wish that you were mine
[Chorus]
La la la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la la (it means I love you, baby), la la la la la la
[Verse 3]
Maybe someday, you'll see my face among the crowd
(And I'll be staring at you, looking right straight through your heart)
Maybe someday, I'll share your little distant cloud
(I wanna be on Cloud 9 with you, baby)
My cherie amour, pretty little girl that I adore
You're the only one my heart beats for
Won't you say that you'll be mine, be mine
[Outro]
My cherie amour, you are the one that I adore
And all that I've been waiting for
(I've been waiting)
Want you in my life forever
My cherie amour, you are the one that I adore
And all that I've been waiting for
Want you in my life forever
My cherie amour, you are the one that I adore
And all that I've been waiting for
Want you in my life forever
My cherie amour, you are the one that I adore
And all that I've been waiting for
Want you in my life forever (I want you, baby)
My cherie amour, you are the one that I adore
And all that I've been waiting for
Want you in my life forever
My cherie amour, you are the one that I adore
And all that I've been waiting for
Want you in my life forever
My cherie amour

And all that I've been waiting for

My cherie amour, you are the one that I adore
And all that I've been waiting for
Want you in my life forever
