Kissing you was not what I had planned
And now I'm not so sure just where I stand
I wasn't looking for true love
But now you're looking at me
You're the only one I can think of
You're the only one I see
All I need
Is just a little more time
To be sure
What I feel
Is it all in my mind?
'Cause it seems so hard to believe
That you're all I need
I guess it's true we've all been hurt before
But it doesn't seem to matter anymore
It's maybe a chance we're taking
But it always comes to this
If this isn't love we're making
Then I don't know what it is
All I need
Is just a little more time
To be sure
What I feel
Is it all in my mind?
'Cause it seems so hard to believe
That you're all I need
No stars are out to night
But we're shining our own light
And it's never felt so right
'Cause girl the way I'm feeling
It's easy to believe?
That you're all I need
