Lyrics

I?VE NEVER LOVED LIKE THIS BEFORE by Michael Goldman ©2005

All the times I?ve been a fool, not to get burned I played it cool
Now you my lover, you?ve blown my cover
No one?s loved me like this before;
I?ve never loved like this before, it never felt like bliss before
When you?re around I?m not standin? on the ground
I?ve never loved like this before.

Always had fingers crossed behind my back, always were secrets in my act
My heart?s an open door and I?m begging you for more
I?ve never loved like this before;
Never loved like this before, always felt I must resist before
My defenses resign when your eyes meet mine
I?ve never loved like this before.

I don?t know what I was afraid of
Did I need a gal (guy) who?s made of what you?re made of
You?ve blown my course completely off track
And I?m not putting it back

I was always looking over my shoulder, for someone cuter, someone bolder
Now front and center only you may enter,
It?s never been like this before;
I?ve never loved like this before, never could take the risk before
Heaven?s as far or as near as you are,
I?ve never loved like this before.

Never spoke a word too risqué, didn?t want to get too carried away
Now when we?re out I simply want to shout
I?ve never loved like this before;
Never loved like this before, things were always amiss before
When we kiss this way I?ve got nothing left to say but
I?ve never loved like this ? I really must insist ?
That I?ve never loved like this, never loved like this before.
