Boy: Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
and I owe it all to you
Girl: 'Cause I've had the time of my life
and I owe it all to you
Boy: I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me
Girl: We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy
Both: Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it secretly
So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand the urgency
Boy: just remember
Girl: You're the one thing
Boy: I can't get enough of
Girl: So I'll tell you something
Both:This could be love because
(CHORUS)
Both: I've had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
'Til I found the truth
And I owe it all to you
Girl: With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
Boy: So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control
Girl: Yes I know whats on your mind
When you say:
"Stay with me tonight."
Boy: Just remember
You're the one thing
Girl: I can't get enough of
Boy: So I'll tell you something
Both: This could be love because
(CHORUS)
Both: 'Cause I had the time of my life
No I've never felt this way before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
And I've searched through every open door
Till I found the truth
and I owe it all to you
*Instrumental*
