You're standing at the door I'm falling to the floor You look even better than you did before I'm staring at my feet Wondering if I can do this It's been a while, but I couldn't forget you [Bridge] Just a little look has got me feeling things Just a little touch has got me seeing things Just a little taste has got me off the chains Doing things that I don't want to [Chorus] Do it like you do it to me (I'm burning up) Do it like you do it to me (It's not enough) Do it like you do it to me; just open up Don't you know how much I want you? We're sitting real close, and I can feel your breath I wanna touch your hand, but I lay back 'Cause you know this thing could spiral in the night I've changed my mind; I'm ready for you this time [Bridge] [Chorus] We're sitting real close; I can feel your breath I wanna touch your hand, but I lay back We're sitting real close; I can feel your breath I wanna touch your hand; I cannot fight it off
