With You

I've been so down and out
And roundabout
I never took a look around
Only your eyes, your smile
Your sweet surprise
Has made me upward bound
Upward bound

The sun comes flooding in
And I begin
To see just who you are
Your hair's so long and free
I want to be
Forever in your eyes
Forever in your eyes

Hey, I wanna rock 'n roll with you
Hey, I wanna share my soul with you
With you, I want to spend the night, tonight!
With you, making love can feel so right...

When you're so far away
I want to say
I need you right here beside me
I love the way you are
The Morning Star
I want you so completely
I want you to complete me

Hey, I wanna rock 'n roll with you
Hey, I wanna share my soul with you
With you, I want to spend the night, tonight!
With you, making love can feel so right...

What is it about you
That awakens my desire
For a woman with feeling
A woman who knows the ecstasy of fire?

What is it about me
That I always want to be
Beside you in the light
With you each and every, every night?

I've been so down and out
And roundabout
I never took a look around
Only your eyes, your smile
Your sweet surprise
Has made me upward bound
Upward bound

Hey, I wanna rock 'n roll with you
Hey, I wanna share my soul with you
With you, I want to spend the night, tonight!
With you, making love can feel so right...
