She met him down at the laundry mat
Three a.m. on a washing machine they sat
And talked until dawn
He bought her breakfast at a small caf??짤
Morning turned to the rest of the day
Then the day was gone
He thought that she'd surely run away
A fairy tale never started this way, but

[Chorus:]
It ain't the mind that calls the shots round here
A stronger power's pulled to bodies near
Nothing on Earth can interfere
When love is what the heart wants

They made a wish on the evening star
From a rooftop high above the boulevard
Up in the twilight sky
He held her hand, she held her breath
Two lonely hearts beating scared to death
Of a chance to fly
Giving in to the arms of fate
This isn't quite like the plans that they made, but

[Chorus: x3]

Oh
Nothing on Earth can interfere
When love is

Baby please don't get too close to me
Cause that ring you're wearin'
Says that you're not free
But if I said I didn't want ya
Well you know I'd be a liar
You better run while there's still time
Cause I can't stop this fire
I want you bad I can't help myself
But you belong to someone else
I'd leave you alone, darling, if I could
But I want you bad and that ain't good

Baby please put away those ruby lips
And those big blue eyes
Are too hard to resist
I'm not that kind of man
Oh and usually I'm strong
But it's gettin' hard to tell between
What's right and what is wrong
I want you bad I can't help myself,
I want you bad girl that ain't good
I want you bad bad bad that ain't good

O holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
O night divine
O night, O night divine

Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in greatful chorus raise we
Let all within us praise His holy name

Christ is the Lord
O praise His name forever
His power and glory ever more proclaim
His power and glory ever more proclaim

Fall on your knees
O hear the angel voices
His power and glory ever more proclaim
O night divine
O night when Christ was born
His power and glory ever more proclaim

Baby please don't get too close to me
Cause that ring you're wearin'
Says that you're not free
But if I said I didn't want ya
Well you know I'd be a liar
You better run while there's still time
Cause I can't stop this fire
I want you bad I can't help myself
But you belong to someone else
I'd leave you alone, darling, if I could
But I want you bad and that ain't good

Baby please put away those ruby lips
And those big blue eyes
Are too hard to resist
I'm not that kind of man
Oh and usually I'm strong
But it's gettin' hard to tell between
What's right and what is wrong
I want you bad I can't help myself,
I want you bad girl that ain't good
I want you bad bad bad that ain't good

I came in as the sun came up.
She glared at me over her coffee cup.
She said: "Where you been?" so I thought real hard,
And said: "I fell asleep in that hammock in the yard."
She said: "You don't know it boy but you just blew it."
An' I said: "Well that's my story and I'm stickin' to it."

"That's my story.
"Oh, that's my story.
"Well, I ain't got a witness and I can't prove it.
"But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it."

I got that deer in the headlight look.
She read my face like the cover of a book.
And said: "Don't expect me to believe all that static,
"'cause just last week, I threw that hammock in the attic."
My skin got so thin you could see right through it.
And I stuttered: "Well that's my story and I'm stickin' to it."

"That's my story." (That's my story.)
"Oh, that's my story." (That's my story.)
"Yeah, I ain't got a witness and I can't prove it,
"But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it."

You know the time comes when a wise man knows
The best thing that he can do is just look her in the eye
And beg for mercy and face the bitter truth.

"Well honey, me and the boys played cards all night,
"There wasn't no hanky panky, not a woman in sight.
"And I know I shoulda called and, baby, I'm real sorry.
"Let's get a cellular phone and then you won't have to worry.
"You know how much I love you and darlin' I'm ready to prove it.
"And that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

"That's my story." (That's my story.)
"Oh, that's my story." (That's my story.)
"Yeah, I ain't got a witness and I can't prove it,
"But that's my story and I'm stickin' to it."

"You know I ain't gonna do a thing,
"Darlin', unless you approve it.
"Well that's my story and I'm stickin' to it."

You want to know where we go from here
So many roads but none that seem clear
Is what we have enough to last a whole life through
Who knows baby who knows
So you're asking me what do we do

Cause time moves so fast and the chances seem so few
Is it too much to think that we could have it all
Who knows we may never know

But if I were you I'd promise to live life for all it's worth
Take all that you've been given and leave your mark upon this earth
Trust your heart to show you everything you'll ever need
And if I were you I'd fall in love with me

So hold me close I'll kiss away your fears
I won't promise the moon but I promise to be here
And what if together it gets better every day
Who knows baby who knows
But if I were you I'd promise to

But if I were you I'd promise to,
If I were you I'd fall in love with me

Today the air cleared up
The lights came on bright
Years of heavy weight
In a moment turned light
I'd thought love could only look dark
As if through a glass
I just turned into an open book
Readin' easy at last
Tonight my walls came down like
A brick through a plate glass window
With a wrecking ball sound like old Jericho
Laid swift to the ground I'm not sure when
But baby you're how the walls came down

I've never trusted much
Got my reasons like most
Stayed well protected from
Every thorn on each rose
Taking those wayward trips
Only to turn back and run
Sailing all my relationships
Could not have dreamed up this one
Tonight my walls came down

You make sense to me in a world where
Just a few things do make sense to me
In your heart I'll put my trust
Through whatever is in front of us
Tonight my walls came down
Ooh baby you're how the walls came down
Oh baby you're how the walls came down

Winter snow is falling down, children laughing all around.
Lights are turnin' on, like a fairy tale come true.
Sitting by the fire we made, you're the answer when I prayed
I would find some one, and baby I found you.

And all I want is to hold you forever.
All I need is you more everyday.
You saved my heart from being broken apart,
you gave your love away,
and I'm thankful everyday for the gift.

Watching as you softly sleep,what I'd give if I could keep
just this moment, if only time stood still.
But the colors fade away, and the years will make us gray,
but baby in my eyes, you'll still be beautiful.

And all I want is to hold you forever.
All I need is you more everyday.
You saved my heart from being broken apart.
You gave your love away,
and I'm thankful everyday for the gift.

All I want is to hold you forever.
All I need is you more everyday.
You saved my heart from being broken apart.
You gave your love away,
Can't find the words to say
And I'm thankful everyday for the gift
