Now I've had the time of my life No, I never felt like this before Yes I swear it's the truth And I owe it all to you 'Cause I've had the time of my life And I owe it all to you I've been waiting for so long Now I've finally found someone to stand by me We saw the writing on the wall And we felt this magical fantasy Now with passion in our eyes There's no way we could disguise it secretly So we take each others hand 'Cause we seem to understand the urgency Just remember You're the one thing I can't get enough of So I'll tell you something This could be love Because I've had the time of my life No, I never felt this way before Yes I swear it's the truth And I owe it all to you Hey baby With my body and soul I want you more than you'll ever know So we'll just let it go Don't be afraid to lose control, no Yes, I know what's on your mind when you say "Stay with me tonight" (stay with me) And remember You're the one thing I can't get enough of So I'll tell you something This could be love Because I've had the time of my life No, I never felt this way before Yes I swear it's the truth And I owe it all to you 'Cause I've had the time of my life And I've searched through every open door (never felt this way) Till I found the truth And I owe it all to you Now I've had the time of my life No, I never felt this way before (never felt this way) Yes I swear it's the truth And I owe it all to you I've had the time of my life No, I never felt this way before (never felt this way) Yes I swear it's the truth And I owe it all to you 'Cause I've had the time of my life (I had time of my life) And I've searched through every open door (you do it to me, baby) Till I found the truth (you do it to me, baby) And I owe it all to you
