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
