I don't know what it is that you've done to me But it's caused me to act in such a crazy way Whatever it is that you do when you do what you're doing It's a feeling that I don't understand 'Cause my heart starts beating triple time With thoughts of loving you on my mind I can't figure out just what to do When the cause and cure is you I get so weak in the knees, I can hardly speak I lose all control and something takes over me In a daze and it's so amazing, it's not a phase I want you to stay with me, by my side I swallow my pride, your love is so sweet It knocks me right off of my feet Can't explain why your loving makes me weak Time after time after time I've tried to fight it But your love is strong it keeps on holding on Resistance is down when you're around, starts fading In my condition I don't want to be alone 'Cause my heart starts beating triple time With thoughts of loving you on my mind I can't figure out just what to do When the cause and cure is you, oh I get so weak in the knees, I can hardly speak I lose all control and something takes over me In a daze and it's so amazing, it's not a phase I want you to stay with me, by my side I swallow my pride, your love is so sweet It knocks me right off of my feet Can't explain why your loving makes me weak I try hard to fight it No way can I deny it Your love's so sweet It knocks me off my feet I get so weak in the knees, I can hardly speak I lose all control and something takes over me In a daze and it's so amazing, it's not a phase I want you to stay with me, by my side I swallow my pride, your love is so sweet It knocks me right off of my feet Can't explain why your loving makes me weak I get so weak Blood starts racing through my veins I get so weak Boy, it's something I can't explain I get so weak Something 'bout the way you do the things you do, it Knocks me right off of my feet (off my feet) I can't explain why your loving makes me weak I get so weak in the knees, I can hardly speak I lose all control and something takes over me In a daze and it's so amazing, it's not a phase I want you to stay with me, by my side I swallow my pride, your love is so sweet It knocks me right off of my feet
