What happened It seems like every time love comes You're never ready That's why they call it? The Rush Tell me, are you there? Could it be that you're the answer to my prayer See, I've prayed for peace and love Like so many of us do Then I prayed to find someone like you Up in the morning Fell out of my bed Worn out, I couldn't sleep Thoughts of you filled my head How could it be? This is scaring me Seems every time I try To rest my heart is when The rush is back again Maybe this time I'll Make it work somehow Guess I'm gonna find out now I get a rush And it's love for sure What else can it be Something beckons me And I go back for more Ooo such a rush Can't pass love by What else can I do Something tells me to Give it one more try I'm not gonna die if love passes me by It goes and comes around, I know So maybe the next time I'll be one of the few Chosen by love to do just what I wanna do I will carry on wading through every day till love needs me Waiting for the rush to come and find me I still remember when love was an angel send It will be back again I can't remember when, I can't remember how It's very different now It's not a fantasy, it's very real to me True to the touch I get a rush
