When I first made love
I was seventeen
When you say, "I love you"
And you don't know what it means
There's no way of knowin'
In the confidence of youth
How much we were lyin' and how much was the truth
But I found you
Though I thought I never would
I found you
What took you...so long?
And I don't love you 'cause you're beautiful
I don't love you 'cause you're good to me
I don't love you 'cause you make me feel like a man
I love you because you know who I am
Letting go of reason
Is the hardest thing to do
You don't choose who you love, it chooses you
And the promise of a lover
Never be contained
And when it finally touches you, you'll never be the same
But I found you
After all of my searchin'
I found you
It's more than I deserve
But I don't love you 'cause you're beautiful
I don't love you 'cause you're good to me
I don't love you 'cause you make me feel like a man
I love you because you know who I am
I love you
Because you know who I am
