[Intro]
That feels so good
[Verse 1]
You know that I do love you, babe
But I don't want to rush it, babe
Today I wanna hold you
Tomorrow I will give you more, yeah
I wanna take my time with you
So I can make it right with you
That's how it used to be
I only wanna give you more
[Chorus]
Like when love was love (Was love)
When a kiss was a kiss (Was a kiss)
That's what I miss (I miss)
And that's the way it should be
When a man was a man (Ooh)
When forever was a plan (A plan)
And people still hold hands
And that's the way it should be
[Verse 2]
I wanna take long walks with you
And share all of my thoughts with you
I wonder how you see your dreams
'Cause I see all my dreams in you, oh baby
Remember the nights that we never meant
Creeping round with love when we were friends
I wish we could bring back
Those days back when we were friends
[Chorus]
'Cause love was love (Love, I wanna love)
When a kiss was a kiss (Remember)
That's what I miss (I miss)
And that's the way it should be (You, baby)
When a man was a man
When forever was a plan (Was a plan)
And people still hold hands (Hold my hand)
And that's the way it should be (Love)
When love was love (Ooh)
When a kiss was a kiss
That's what I miss (I miss)
And that's the way it should be (You in my life)
When a man was a man
When forever was a plan (Forever was your plan)
And people still hold hands
And that's the way it should be (Be)
[Break]
(I want you, baby
Oh-yeah, oh-yeah, ooh)
When love was love
When a kiss was a kiss (Oh, baby)
That's what I miss (I miss you, babe)
[Bridge]
Tell that you belong to me
Make me secure, that I'm all you need
Hold me at night, take my troubles away
I wish we could go back to the days when
[Chorus]
When love was love
When a kiss was a kiss (Was a kiss)
That's what I miss
And that's the way it should be (Ooh)
When a man was a man (A man)
When forever was a plan (A plan to love)
And people still hold hands (Hold me, babe)
And that's the way it should be (Hold me)
When love was love (Oh, lovin' me)
When a kiss was a kiss (Oh)
That's what I miss (I miss)
And that's the way it should be (Lovin' me)
When a man was a man (Holdin' me)
When forever was a plan (Lovin' me)
And people still hold hands (Holdin' up, holdin' me)
And that's the way it should be (Hold my hand)
[Outro]
When you love me
When you hold me
When you love me
