Oh yeh yeh, oh oh, hey    There's a place I've never been  A place I long to be  Will I reach? I just don't know  Still I hope one day I'll go, hey    My wish just never seems to come, yeah  I know for certain you're the one, yeah  So close I get, still no cigar  Carrying my wounded heart, yeah    I can't stop the river from running, I can't, I can't  I can't stop the rain from falling down on me, oh no no  I know I'm not what you want  I'm hoping in time you'll see how  My soul pleads for you    Not every time you meet someone and  You both just click in a minute  Baby it's the eye contact, smile like that  Click click and you're rolling  Can't stop calling you, I don't know what to do  Baby you're making me break down all of my rules, yeah    I can't stop the river from running, (I can't stop the river from running)  I can't stop the rain from falling down on me, oh no no  I know I'm not what you want  I'm hoping in time you'll see how  My soul pleads for you, (yeah, yeah, yeah)    Now I can believe you've put a spell on me  Oh it's the way it seems, I can't keep you out my dreams  Oh I get chills baby, when I can't talk to you  I'm in pain and I hope you feel the way I do    I can't stop the river from running, (I can't stop the river from running)  I can't stop the rain from falling down on me, oh no no  I know I'm not what you want  I'm hoping in time you'll see how  My soul pleads for you, (yeah, yeah, yeah)    I know for certain you're the one baby  So close, and no cigar  I carry this, my wounded heart  So close but yet so far    [Chorus until fade]
