I-I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I-I, I'm counting on you
Ever since we met, Darling, I've been keeping score
Ev'ry day I count your charms, ev'ry day I love you more
It's plain to see why you're the lover that I waited for

I'm counting the diff'rent ways you melt me
Your smile, your voice, your touch
I'm counting the little things you tell me
That move me, oh, so much
I'm counting your kisses and caresses
And 'cause I thrill as I do
Oh, I-I-I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I-I, hmm-hmm-hmm
I'm counting on you-ooooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

I'm counting the hours since I found you
The days, the nights, divine
I'm counting the dreams I built around you
Because your love is mine
I'm counting on happiness forever
Ooh, lover, always be true
For I-I-I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I-I, hmm-hmm-hmm
I'm counting on you
I-I-I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I-I, hmm-hmm-hmm
I'm counting on you
I'm counting on you
I'm counting on you
