[Verse 2]

And anyone who tried to deny you
Must be out of their mind
[Chorus]
Because I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter since I met you
And, honey, you should know
That I could never go on without you
[Post-Chorus]
Green eyes, green eyes
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Outro]
Honey, you are a rock
Upon which I stand
