Lyrics[]
Quinn with The God Squad vocalizing:
Cherish is the word I use to describe
All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside
Joe and Sam (Mercedes and Quinn):
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I had told you (Cherish the thought)
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could hold you (Cherish the thought)
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could
Quinn:
(Ooh ooh ooh) (Joe: Mold you into someone who could)
(with Sam: Cherish the thought) Of always having you
(with Joe: Here by my side) Oh, baby I...
Mercedes with The God Squad vocalizing:
Perish is the word that more than applies
To the hope in my heart each time I realize
Oooh...
Joe and Sam (Mercedes and Quinn):
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I had told you (Cherish the thought)
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could hold you (Cherish the thought)
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could
Quinn:
(Ooh ooh ooh) (Joe: Mold you into someone who could)
(with Sam: Cherish the thought) Of always having you
(with Joe: Here by my side) Oh, baby I...
Mercedes (The God Squad):
(Who? You!) Can't get away I won't let you,
Ooh... (Who? You!)
Quinn (and Mercedes):
I could never forget to
Cherish is the word I use to remind me of
(Your love!)
Joe and Sam (Mercedes and Quinn):
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I had told you (Cherish the thought)
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could hold you (Cherish the thought)
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could
Quinn and Joe:
(Mercedes: Ooh ooh ooh) (Joe: Mold you into someone who could)
Cherish the thought
Of always having you
Mercedes and Sam:
Here by my side
Oh, baby I....
Joe and Quinn:
Cherish the joy
You keep bringing it
Mercedes and Sam:
Into my life,
Always singing it
Joe and Quinn:
Cherish your strength
You got the power
Mercedes and Sam:
To make me feel good and baby I
Joe (and Sam):
Perish the thought
(Of ever leaving)
Mercedes and Quinn:
I never would
Joe:
You don't know how many times!
Sam (Mercedes and Quinn):
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I had told you (Joe: Ooo!) (Cherish the thought)
Joe and Sam (Mercedes and Quinn):
You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could hold you (Cherish the thought)
Sam:
(Joe: Yeah) You don't know how many times
I've wished that I could (Mercedes: Ooh ooh ooh)

Mold you into someone who could

Cherish me as much as I cherish you

Cherish the thought

Oooh
