Cheri Cheri Lady
Modern Talking · Modern Talking [2010]
Every time it's the same
Oh I feel that it's real
Take my heart
I've been lonely too long
Oh I can't be so strong
Take a chance for romance
Take my heart
I need you so
There's no time
I'll ever go
Cheri Cheri Lady
Goin' through emotion
Love is where you find it
Listen to your heart
Cheri Cheri Lady
Livin' in devotion
It's always like the first time
Let me take a part
Cheri Cheri Lady
Like there's no tomorrow
Take my heart don't lose it
Listen to your heart
Cheri Cheri Lady
To know you is to love you
If you call me baby
I'll be always yours
I get up but I get down
Oh my world turns around
Who is right, who is wrong
I don't know
I've got pain in my heart
Gotta love in my soul
Easy come but I think easy go
I need you so
All those times
I'm not so strong
Cheri Cheri Lady
Goin' through emotion
Love is where you find it
Listen to your heart
Cheri Cheri Lady
Livin' in devotion
It's always like the first time
Let me take a part
Cheri Cheri Lady
Like there's no tomorrow
Take my heart don't lose it
Listen to your heart
Cheri Cheri Lady
To know you is to love you
If you call me baby
I'll be always yours
