I hold you I touch you In a maze can't find my way I think you I drink you I'm being served you on a tray. You see girl that's what I go through every day Is this the way it should feel? Pinch me I'm dreaming But if it is don't let me know. I'm drowning don't save me It's just the way I'd like to go. You see girl you thrill me Half kill me that's what you do. Ai no corrida that's were I am You send me there - Your dream is my command. Ai no corrida I find myself no other thought Jusa you and nothing else you and nothing else. Before my heart saw you Each day was just another day Night the lonely interlude just came then blow away. You know girl Everything was come what may until you fell in my life. This spell that I'm under has caught me I'm in a daze Your lightning and thunder sets my poor heart ablaze. You see girl you thrill me Half kill me that's what you do. Ai no corrida that's were I am . . . Ai no corrida that's were I am . . . Ai no corrida that's were I am . . . I hold you I touch you . . . Pinch me I'm dreaming . . . Ai no corrida that's were I am . . . Ai no corrida that's were I am
