[Pre-Chorus] Don't fly me away Don't need to buy a diamond key To unlock my heart You shelter my soul You're my fire when I'm cold I want you to know
[Chorus] You had me at "Hello" (Hello) Hello (Hello) Hello (Hello) You had me at "Hello" (Hello) Hello (Hello) Hello (Hello) It was many years ago (Hello, ago) Baby, when you (When you) Stole my cool (Stole my cool) 'Cause you had me at "Hello" (My cool, hello) Hello (Hello) Hello (Hello, hello)
[Verse 2] I get so excited when you travel with me Baby, while I'm on my grind And never would I ever let my hustle Come between me and my family time, and You keep me humble out of this hype 'Cause you know there's more to life And if I need you, you will be here You will make the sacrifice
[Pre-Chorus] Don't fly me away Don't need to buy a diamond key To unlock my heart You shelter my soul (Oh) You're my fire when I'm cold (Oh) Just want you to know
[Chorus] You had me at "Hello" (Hello) Hello (Hello) Hello (Hello) You had me at "Hello" (Hello, hello) Hello (Hello) Hello (Hello) It was many years ago (Hello, ago) Baby, when you (When you) Stole my cool (Stole my cool) You had me at "Hello" (My cool, hello) Hello (Hello) Hello (Hello, hello)
[Bridge] Gotta feel you (Oh) and be near you (Oh) You're the air that I breathe to survive Gotta hold you (Oh), wanna show you (Oh) That without you, my sun doesn't shine You don't have to try so hard for me to love you Boy, without you my life just ain't the same You don't have to try so hard for me to love you (Oh)
[Chorus] You had me at "Hello" (Hello) Hello (Hello) Hello (Hello) You had me at "Hello" (Hello, hello) Hello (Hello) Hello (Hello) It was many years ago (Hello, ago) Baby, when you (When you) Stole my cool (Stole my cool) 'Cause you had me at "Hello" (My cool, hello) Hello (Hello) Hello (Hello, hello)
[Outro] It was many years ago Baby, when you stole my cool You had me at "Hello" Hello Hello, oh
