I Choose You

Babyface · Other Songs - Babyface

For whatever might have been

And all that it never was

Whatever I couldn't see

for all that I didn't want



There was a method to my madness girl

That wasn't clear to me

Until the day I saw your face

When I saw everything



For I saw us dancing through sunshine and rain

And I saw us laughing through joy and through pain

And I saw time passing but we did not change

And I still saw us together at the end of every day



[Chorus:]

Whenever you want it

Whenever you need it

Whatever you feel like, it's gon' be like

You better believe it

Whenever you feel like dancing

You don't have to dance alone, no

You know, you know, you know

You should already know

I choose you (8x)



I felt you inside myself

Before I could even feel

I knew you like no one else

But still I couldn't tell, Oh

Girl, none of it made sense to me

Girl, none of it was real

Until the day I saw your face

And it was clear to see



Whenever you want it, no

Whenever you need it, no

Whatever you feel like, it's gon' be like

You better believe it (you better believe it)

Whenever you feel like dancing

You don't have to dance alone, no (oh, no)

You know, you know, you know

You should already know

I choose you (8x)



[Bridge]

Throughout our times, people have searched their lives

Hoping that they might find the chance where they can make things right

Through my desire, thank God I found the fire

Oh, for everything has led me straight to you (youuuu)



Whenever you want it

Whenever you need it

Whatever you feel like, it's gon' be like

You better believe it

Whenever you feel like dancing

You don't have to dance alone, no

You know, you know, you know

You should already know

I choose you (8x)

I choose you (8x)
