IT MUST HAVE BEEN LOVE

I should have known better with a girl like you That I would love everything that you do And I do, hey, hey, hey, and I do  Whoa, oh, I never realized what a kiss could be This could only happen to me Can't you see, can't you see  That when I tell you that I love you, oh You're gonna say you love me too, oh And when I ask you to be mine You're gonna say you love me too  So I should have realized a lot of things before If this is love you've got to give me more Give me more, hey hey hey, give me more  Whoa, oh, I never realized what a kiss could be This could only happen to me Can't you see, can't you see  That when I tell you that I love you, oh You're gonna say you love me too, oh And when I ask you to be mine You're gonna say you love me too You love me too, you love me too You love me too With lyrics:
