a new kind of love,
genetically altered,
enough of "love lite",
and "I can't believe it's not love",
I can't help myself,
and you don't have to say that,
it sparks across flesh,
you'll feel it kicking in soon

are you falling in love?
I've the feeling you are
are you falling in love
with a feeling?

so you're running late,
and it's not even like you,
you were doing so well,
did the dog eat your homework again?
I can't help myself,
'cause my friend says in real life,
"it's only the police,
that ever come lookin' for you"

are you falling in love?
I've the feeling you are
are you falling in love
with a feeling?

are you falling in love?
or only feeling you are?
'cause if you're falling in love,
let me feel it

I've been busy,
you'll know then,
you know you're just saying that,
are you going to get that?
what's that supposed to mean?

I've been busy, you know that,
you know you're just saying that,
are you going to get that?
what's that supposed to mean?

are you falling in love?
I've the feeling you are
are you falling in love
with a feeling?

are you falling in love?
or only feeling you are?
'cause if you're falling in love,
let me feel it

let me feel it
let me feel it
let me feel it

let me feel it
let me feel it
let me feel it
let me feel it
