Built an opera house for you in the deepest jungle

And I walked across its stage, singing with my eyes closed

I've got a love for you I just can't escape

All of my love for you cuts me like barbed wire.

Ooh, I was meant to love you

And always keep you in my life

Ooh, I was meant to love you

I knew I loved you at first sight.

If I abandoned love, I'd be a man without dreams (ooh...)

I'd rather be out there staring death right between its eyes now

And I can still hear the sound of you crying through the night

There in the opera house with no one else for miles.

Ooh, I was meant to love you

And always keep you in my life

Ooh, I was meant to love you

I knew I loved you at first sight.

Ooh, I was meant to love you

And always keep you in my life

Ooh, I was meant to love you

I knew I loved you at first sight.
