We both deserve each other’s love
You, you’re just as sweet as peaches and cream
(to me you’re as sweet as peaches and cream)
You must have stepped right out of my dreams
‘Cause you and I were meant to be (‘Cause you and I were meant to be)
I-I am a very fortunate guy (So lucky am I to be by your side)
Lucky to have you all of the time
You’re one of a kind
You know to me you’re so fine
I thank the Lord for you and I, yeah (I thank the Lord for you and I)
Ooh, ooh
