How It Has To Be

When I first met you, I couldn't love again
But now I know you, and my heart is mended
I look at you and I like what I see
Let me tell you the way it has to be

Come on, baby, baby
Come and dance with me
One example of the the way it has to be
A bit closer, baby
And I'm sure you'll see
This is definitely
How it has to be

I know you don't have time for a steady girl
For in five months you'll be halfway 'cross the world
It won't be that long, just please indulge me
I'll give you a taste of the way it has to be

Come on, baby, baby
Come and dance with me
One example of the the way it has to be
A bit closer, baby
And I'm sure you'll see
This is definitely
How it has to be

I hope now you see things from my point of view
From my perspective all that matters is you
I can't handle any cheap substitutes
I think it's time we went into cahoots

Come on, baby, baby
Come and dance with me
One example of the the way it has to be
A bit closer, baby
And I'm sure you'll see
This is definitely
How it has to be

Now you know it
Oh, now you know it
Oh, now you know it
The way it has to be.
Now you know it
Oh, now you know it
Oh, now you know it
The way it has to be.
