Lyrics
Now that I know That you want me for me I can be what you want (what you want) I can be what you need (what you need) Now that I know That your love is for real I can finally see This is not make believe anymore I never knew If I could believe in you I thought I was just a diversion And you were killing some time My friends they told me to leave you They said you'd never, ever, ever be mine But you gave me your love And you said I'm the one You want for the rest of your life Now that I know That you want me for me I can be what you want (what you want) I can be what you need (what you need) Now that I know That your love is for real I can finally see (finally) This is not make believe anymore I was afraid That it was all a masquerade And that I was only a plaything And you would leave me behind But now I feel so secure By your side, I can conquer the world 'Cause I gave you my love And I know you're the one I want for the rest of my life Now that I know That you want me for me I can be what you want (what you want) I can be what you need (what you need) Now that I know That your love is for real I can finally see This is not make believe anymore Now that I know That you want me for me I can be what you want I can be what you need (what you need) Now that I know That your love is for real I can finally see This is not make believe anymore (I really feel it) So much love (I really feel it) So much joy (I really feel it) Sweet, sweet ecstasy (I really feel it) Oh baby (I really feel it) 'Cause you opened my eyes (I really feel it) And I realize (Oh yeah) Your love is real Is for real Now that I know That you want me for me I can be what you want (what you want) I can be what you need (what you need) Now that I know That your love is for real I can finally see (finally) This is not make believe anymore Now that I know That you want me for me I can be what you want I can be what you need (now that I know) Now that I know That your love is for real I can finally see (finally see) This is not make believe anymore (anymore) Ooh
