Baby, when I met you there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
I was soft inside
There was something going on
You do something to me that I can't explain
Hold me closer and I feel no pain
Every beat of my heart
We got something going on

Tender love is blind
It requires a dedication
All this love we feel needs no conversation
We can ride it together, ah, ah
From one lover to another's heart

Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah, ah
From one lover to another, ah, ah

I can't live without you if the love was gone
Everything is nothing when you got no one
And you walk in the night
Slowly losing sight of the real thing
But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the message is clear
This could be the year for the real thing

No more will you cry
Baby I will hurt you never
We start and end as one
In love forever
We can ride it together, ah, ah
From one lover to another's heart

Islands in the stream that is what we are
No one in between how can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other's heart
From one lover to another's heart

Ghetto superstar, that is what you are
Coming from afar, reaching for the stars
Run away with me to another place
We can rely on each other, ah ah
