Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Whenever, wherever
  • We're meant to be together
  • I'll be there, and you'll be near
  • And that's the deal, my dear

Echo the hook

  • You got me head over heels
  • There's nothing left to fear
  • If you really feel the way I feel
  • Whenever, wherever
thereluckyyou'll
