I've always been known as a practical man
 
 Certainly one-of-a-kind
 
 Then you came along with the wave of your hand
 
 And suddenly young love is blind
 
 I'll build you a house by the water
 
 It's always been your fantasy
 
 *then i'll settle down for the rest of my life
 
 Now that you're livin' with me, oh,
 
 Now that you're livin' with me
 
  
  I've always been known as the kind of a guy
 
 Who runs off to hide from a dream
 
 But you've got that good one i've never tried
 
 And nothing's as hard as it seems
 
 I'll build you a house by the mountains
 
 It's always been your fantasy
 
 (repeat *) oh, you brighten my life
 
 Fill me with a burnin' desire
 
 Oh, you lighten my life
 
 Touch me and i'm feelin' on fire
 
 We're never ever gonna lose
 
 This feeling that we're feeling tonight
 
 Oh, oh
 
 We're never ever gonna let it happen
 
 'cause it wouldn't be right
 
 Wouldn't be right
  
 
 Oh, you lighten my life
 
 Fill me with a burnin' desire
 
 Oh, you brighten my life
 
 Touch me and i'm feeling on fire
 
 We're never ever gonna lose this feeling
 
 That we're feeling tonight
 
 Oh, oh
 
 We're never gonna ever let it happen
 
 'cause it wouldn't be right
