Lyrics
True
That’s me
True to you
I’ll always be
Till you came along
I was just a rover
But you brought me love so strong
Now my wanderin’ days are over
True
I’ll stay
Lovin’ you
More every day
Let temptation come
We’ll still be together
Our two hearts beat as one
Sharing tender love forever
True
Forever true
Forever true
(True)
(I’ll stay)
(Loving you)
(More every day)
Let temptation come
We’ll still be together
Our two hearts beat as one
Sharing tender love forever
True
Forever true
Forever true
