Thought I was over you thought I could start anew I got a new job, new friends on the other side of town But here you are again just like a long lost friend And when I touched your hand it started all over again I can't help myself here comes that feeling Just like a raging river rushing over me No I can't help myself here I go falling Head over heels falling for you again Why does this heart of mine go crazy every time When I know down deep inside you don't love me But when you're standing there, wind blowing through your hair Well I'm starting to make the same old mistake again I can't help myself here comes that feeling Just like a raging river rushing over me No I can't help myself here I go falling Head over heels falling for you again Head over heels falling for you again
