99 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
99, I've been waiting so long
Oh 99, where did we go wrong
Oh 99, (I...) I love you


99, I keep breaking your heart
Oh 99, how can we be apart
Oh 99, (I...) I love you

[Chorus]
I never thought it would happen, I feel quite the same
I don't want to hurt you anymore
I never knew it would work out, no one to blame
You know I love you, 99

[Verse 2]
99 (Whoo-ooh), you keep holding my hand
Oh 99, they don't know who I am
Oh 99, (I...) I love you

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Chorus]
I never thought it would happen, I feel quite the same
I don't want to hurt you anymore
I never knew it would work out, no one to blame
You know I love you, 99
[Verse 3]
99 (Whoo-ooh), I can't take it no more
Oh 99, oh we were so sure
Oh 99, (I...) I love you

[Outro]
99 (Whoo-ooh)

I love you

99
La la la la la la la la la

I love you

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
