Seems like everyone else has a love just for them I don't mind; we have such a good time, my best friend But sometimes, well I wish we could be more than friends Tell me, do you know? Tell me, do you know? Oh I get so breathless when you call me name I've often wondered, do you feel the same? There's a chemistry, energy, a synchronicity when we're all alone So don't tell me you can't see what I'm thinking of I can understand that you don't want to cross the line And you know I can't promise you things will turn out fine But I have to be honest: I want you to be mine Tell me, do you know? Tell me, do you know? Oh I get so breathless when you call me name I've often wondered, do you feel the same? There's a chemistry, energy, a synchronicity when we're all alone So don't tell me (don't you tell me) you can't see Oh! 'Cause I've tried to do this right in your own time I've been telling with my eyes my heart's on fire; why don't you realize? Tell me, do you know? Tell me, do you know? I get so breathless (I get so breathless when you call my name) I've often wondered, do you feel the same? There's a chemistry, energy, a synchronicity when we're alone So don't tell me (don't you tell me) you can't see what I'm thinking of I get so breathless when you call me name I've often wondered, do you feel the same? There's a chemistry, energy, a synchronicity when we're all alone So don't tell me (don't you tell me) you can't see what I'm thinking of
