P is for her personality and
I said the O is for originality and
The other P is for the perfect love she gives to me
The C is just cuz she loves me
And the O means she's the only love I've got
And the R and N, R love will never N(end)

Well I know, I know it's the real thing
Because she told me so
And I know, I know it's the real thing
And I'll never let her go
I've just got to, I've just got to have your love
