Wooooo
When no-one else can understand me
When everything I do is wrong
You give me hope and consolation
You give me strength to carry on
And you're always there
To lend a hand
In everything I do
That's the wonder, the wonder of you
(The wonder of you)


And when you smile the world is brighter
You touch my hand and I'm a king
Your kiss to me is worth a fortune
Your love for me is everything


* I guess I'll never know the reason why
You love me as you do
That's the wonder, the wonder of you


Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
* Repeat
