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
