From the very second baby I already knew
I'd end up head over heels in love with you
Turns out I'm right
I couldn't tell if you were feeling what I felt for you
So I'm not sure I've been trying to play it cool
I'm tired of lying

But I get lost when I look in your eyes
'Cause my love is so hard to disguise

Baby I can't help this feeling
It's a fight that I know I can't win
There's nothing I can do
So I'm giving up tonight
'Cause baby you're my kryptonite

'Cause I can't stop thinking of you
I've been trying not to love you
But I'm helpless girl it's true
So I'm giving up tonight
'Cause baby you're my kryptonite

Your love is like a pendulum that's swinging side to side
Got me in a spell and now I can't deny
Girl I'm hypnotized
'Cause baby it's the same tomorrow, yesterday, tonight
And I swear that nothing's ever felt so right
I'm yours for life

But I get lost when I look in your eyes
'Cause my love is so hard to disguise

Baby I can't help this feeling
It's a fight that I know I can't win
There's nothing I can do
So I'm giving up tonight
'Cause baby you're my kryptonite

I tried so hard to let you go
But I can't escape the way I feel inside
Baby you can't deny that we are meant to be
In love, so girl I give up

Baby I can't help this feeling
It's a fight that I know I can't win
There's nothing I can do
So I'm giving up tonight
'Cause baby you're my kryptonite

Baby I can't help this feeling
It's a fight that I know I can't win
There's nothing I can do
So I'm giving up tonight
'Cause baby you're my kryptonite
