Intro

    

Verse 1

Babe, tomorrow's so far away.
There's somethin' I just have to say.
I don't think I could hide
what I'm feelin' inside - another day 
knowin' I love you.

Verse 2

And I, I'm gettin' too close again.
I don't wanna see it end.
If I could tell you tonight,
will you turn out the light - and walk away 
knowin' I love you?   

Chorus

I'm gonna take you by surprise
and make you realize, Amanda.    
I'm gonna tell you right away;
I can't wait another day, Amanda.    
I'm gonna say it like a man
and make you understand, Amanda. (second time: Oh, girl.)
I love you. (not sung second time)

Verse 3

And, I feel like today's the day
I'm lookin' for the words to say.
Do you wanna be free?
Are you ready for me - to feel this way? 
I don't wanna lose ya. 

Verse 4

So, it may be too soon, I know.
The feelin' takes so long to grow.
If I tell you today
will you turn me away - and let me go? 
I don't wanna lose you.

Chorus

I'm gonna take you by surprise
and make you realize, Amanda.    
I'm gonna tell you right away;
I can't wait another day, Amanda.    
I'm gonna say it like a man
and make you understand, Amanda. (second time: Oh, girl.)
I love you.

Lead-In

    

Bridge

You and I, I know that we can't wait.
And I swear, I swear it's not a lie, girl.
Tomorrow may be too late.
You, you and I, girl,
we can share a life together.
It's now or never, 
and tomorrow may be too late.
Oh. Ooo Oh Ooo Oh.

Outro

And, feelin' the way I do,
I don't wanna wait my whole life through
to say - I'm in love with you.
