If you've been feeling blue
Hey, it's been the same for me
Now i'm here with you
You're exactly what i need

Put your defenses down
Let me show you now
This heart to heart is meant to be

Everything about you feels so right
I only want to have you in my life
All i really had to sing was somebody there for me
And if we stay right here all night

Don't you know it's a matter of love
Don't you know it's a matter of trust
A connection between you and me
Can't you see it's a matter of trust, matter of us, matter of love

We've got magic here, it's the power of love i know
It's dancing in the air, i can feel the feeling grow

Put your defenses down
Let me hold you now
And i won't ever let you go

Everything about you feels so right
I only want to have you in my life
All i really had to sing was somebody there for me
And if we stay right here all night

Don't you know it's a matter of love
Don't you know it's a matter of trust
Nothing's ever gonna seperate us
You and me, it's a matter of trust, matter of us, matter of love

Put your defenses down
Let me hold you now
And i won't ever let you go

Say, everything about you feels so right
I only want to have you in my life
All i really had to sing was somebody there for me
And if we stay right here all night

Don't you know it's a matter of love
Don't you know it's a matter of trust
A connection between you and me
Can't you see it's a matter of trust, matter of us, matter of love

(it's a matter of love...)
