Verse One

What have I gotten into, Oh, Heaven Help Me

Who knows if I could handle your love, Oh, Heaven Help Me

Lie by your side, while my time rolls by, Oh, Heaven Help Me

Your Hazel-Brown eyes, hold heaven inside, Oh, Heaven Help Me

Chorus One

Oh, now I've been lost

And it seems, I've been found

And no, I don't really care what people say

Oh, Heaven Help Me

Verse Two

Things would be just fine, if I could get you off my mind (but I can't), Oh, Heaven Help Me

So the crush turns to lust, and lust turns into love and Oh, Heaven Help Me

Lie by your side, while my time just rolls by, Oh, Heaven Help Me

And she says we can't play house forever baby, Oh, Heaven Help Me

Chorus TwoSame as Chorus One. Tap to open.

Oh, now I've been lost

And it seems, I've been found

And no, I don't really care what people say

Oh, Heaven Help Me

Bridge

Oh, we don't agree, on many things

Oh, we don't agree, on pretty much anything, But...

Tonight we're alright

Tonight we're alright, right, right

Verse Three

Time flies by, and I tell the same old stories and you still smile

A slight crease on the eyes, and a few smile lines later, Oh, Heaven Help Me

Lie by your side, while my time rolls by, Oh, Heaven Help Me

I suppose there's a worse fate than being in love, Oh, Heaven Help Me

Chorus Three

Oh, now I've been lost

And it seems, I've been found

No, I don't really care what your momma said, Oh, Heaven Help Me

Oh, now I've been lost

And it seems, I've been found

No, I don't really care what your friends think, Oh, Heaven Help Me

Chorus Four

Oh, now I've been lost (but that's in the past)

And now, I've been found (that's right now)

I will lie by your side, till the end of time, oh, I guarantee
