[Verse 1]
But I don't know what came over me
Lost my head and set you free
Suddenly I found I needed to fly
But I, I tumbled to the ground without your love
Telephone never rang for me
Like a stone I sank so deep
I never really knew what heaven you brung to me
Tell me what to do to make it right
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I've gotta make it up to you
So you can be mine
Gotta make it up to you
So we can feel fine
Gotta make it back to you
So we can feel good
Gotta make it back to you
The way that it should be, I
[Chorus]
(Ooh whoa whoa whoa, ooh whoa whoa whoa)
I gotta make it up to you, oh I
(Ooh whoa whoa whoa, ooh whoa whoa whoa)
I gotta make it up to you, oh I
(Ooh whoa whoa whoa, ooh whoa whoa whoa)
I gotta make it up to you
Oh I, oh I, oh I
[Verse 2]
Gonna be looking out for you
Let you take care of me too
Every little tear you want from my eye
Helps to wash away from the fear of losing you
[Pre-Chorus]
Yet I, gotta make it up to you
So he can be mine
Gotta make it up to you
So we can feel fine
Gotta make it back to you
So we can feel good
I've gotta make it back to you
The way that it should be, I
[Chorus]
(Ooh whoa whoa whoa, ooh whoa whoa whoa)
I gotta make it up to you, oh I
(Ooh whoa whoa whoa, ooh whoa whoa whoa)
I gotta make it up to you, oh I
(Ooh whoa whoa whoa, ooh whoa whoa whoa)
I gotta make it up to you
Oh I, oh I, oh I
[Break]
Gotta make it up to you somehow
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh I've gotta make it up to you
So you can be mine
I've gotta make it up to you
So we can feel fine
I've gotta make it back to you
So we can feel good
I've gotta make it back to you
The way that it should be, I
[Chorus]
(Ooh whoa whoa whoa, ooh whoa whoa whoa)
I gotta make it up to you, oh I
(Ooh whoa whoa whoa, ooh whoa whoa whoa)
I gotta make it up to you, oh I
(Ooh whoa whoa whoa, ooh whoa whoa whoa)
For everything I put you through, oh I
(Ooh whoa whoa whoa, ooh whoa whoa whoa)
I gotta make it up to you
(I gotta make it up, I gotta make it up)
Gotta make it up to you
(I gotta make it up, don't wanna break it up)
I gotta make it up to you
(I gotta make it up, I gotta make it up)
To you, to you
(I gotta make it up, don't wanna break it up)
Gotta make it up to you
(I gotta make it up, I gotta make it up)
And gotta make it up to you
(I gotta make it up, don't wanna break it up)
Gotta make it up to you
(I gotta make it up, I gotta make it up)
