"Diana, Let me be the one to light a fire inside those eyes,
"You could love me, you don't even know me,
But I can feel you crying,
Diana, Let me be the one to lift your heart up and save your life,
I don't think you even realize baby you'll be saving mine.
"Diana
"It's only been four months but,
You've fallen down so far,
How could someone mislead you at all?"
