Could it be that the lady is me in the photograph
I'm afraid 'cause it feels too good and I want it too bad
It's just not true, couldn't ask for any more than you
Because you look at me as though I'm beautiful
Could it be that you want me
I never dreamed someone like you could want someone like me

I'm not sure, but the more that it's real, the more it's right
Ooh-ooh, what a night, it's as though we've been lovers all of our lives
There must be a God, could it be that He's heard me at last
Because you look at me as though I'm beautiful
Could it be the lady is me
I never dreamed someone like you could want someone like me

All the pain and the pleasure's the same, it goes so fast
I'm the girl with the strawberry hair in the photograph
So, come on, let's dance. let me have it while I have the chance
'Cause there's another world where there are other girls
But tonight there's only me
I never dreamed someone like you could love someone like me
