Lyrics[]
I’ve been knowing bout you
For such a long long time
I and I betcha didn’t even know
That you blew my mind
And lately when you come around (come on down)
I try to run and hide, oh I hide
But I can’t hold it back anymore
It’s what I feel inside
You make my heart,
Throb
Heart, trob
You make my heart-
