Starts as a lush instrumental ballad for about 2:20, then blends unto an upbeat love song. My first crack at an epic, so go easy. (ADDED 10/17/01) (Time 7:51)
Story behind the song
Ever meet a girl that's too good to be true and you're determined to keep her so you give her that "extra" bit of attention?
Lyrics
(instrumental for the first 2:20)
I'm gonna take control; I'm gonna prove my case.
I'm gonna be the prime example
of the human race,
Because I found a woman
that'll make my day complete.
Made up my mind, gave it a lot of thought.
The love we have cannot be sold or bought.
Ain't this the woman that was really sought for me!
This one's for me!
(Chorus)
Oh! I'm gonna love her hard.
I'm gonna start right now.
It takes a lot of lovin'
But I'll make it work somehow.
Oh, my God, I want her love
More than ever before,
So I can build something special
With the love I have in store.
They say that love is blind, but I forgot all that.
Chalk up a victory for me and put it in my hat,
Because I found a woman that'll let me be her man.
It blew my mind as if it was a dream.
Is love as real as it plainly seems?
Is this the woman that was really meant for me.
This one's for me!
(Repeat Chorus)
All that searchin', all that seekin',
All that lookin' tires out a man like me.
God, it's worth it; we can work it.
No trouble lurkin'; love's as best as it can be.
Love's as best as it can be. Yeah!
It blew my mind as if it was a dream.
Is love as real as it plainly seems?
Is this the woman that was really meant for me.
This one's for me!
(Final Chorus)
Oh! I'm gonna love her hard.
I'm gonna start right now.
It takes a lot of lovin'
But I'll make it work somehow.
Oh, my God, I want her love
More than ever before,
So I can build something special
With the love I have in store.
So I can build something special
With the love I have in store.
