I know love is for real I know it's not pretend
I want you with me to the end
You could be my wife, we could build a life
We can come together make the wrong things right
Please open your eyes we can win a prize
Naturally loving you hawaiian style

You're the world's most beautiful girl
It's only natural for me to be so protective about you
Oh my sweet hawaiian girl
