I've been hearing your heartbeat inside of me I keep your photo right beside my bed Livin' in a world of fantasies I can't get you out of my head I've been waiting for the phone to ring all night Why you want to make me feel so good I got a love of my own Shouldn't get so hung up on you I remember the way that we touched I wish I didn't like it so much I get so emotional, baby Every time I think of you I get so emotional, baby Ain't it shocking what love can do Ain't it shocking what love can do I gotta watch you walk in the room, baby I gotta watch you walk out I like the animal way you move And when you talk I just watch your mouth I remember the way that we touched I wish I didn't like it so much I get so emotional, baby Every time I think of you I get so emotional, baby
