Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh

I got my fingers crossed
You're not a holy ghost
Too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
My fingers crossed
Your heart is a dancer
Too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you

Be in love
You're already close to me
I can't fight it or deny it no more
But it seems
I find it so hard to feel
Is it real or is it just make believe?

Oh, oh, oh
Are you that somebody?
Are you?

I got my fingers crossed
You're not a holy ghost
Too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
My fingers crossed
Your heart is a dancer
Too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh

Sonny boy (sonny boy)
I'm rolling in the deep (in the deep)
I can't fight it or deny it no more
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh)
Like a dream (like a dream)
My mind is spinning out of control (out of control)
Is it real or is it just make believe?

Oh, oh, oh
Are you that somebody? (Are you that somebody?)
Are you?

I got my fingers crossed
You're not a holy ghost
Too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
My fingers crossed
Your heart is a dancer
Too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh

I got my fingers crossed
You're not a holy ghost
Too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
My fingers crossed
Your heart is a dancer
Too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you

I got my fingers crossed
You're not a holy ghost
Too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
I got my fingers crossed
Your heart is a dancer
Too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
I got my fingers crossed
You're not a holy ghost
Too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
My fingers crossed
Your heart is a dancer




Too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you

Too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
My fingers crossed
Your heart is a dancer
Too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you

Beating love, you're already close to me
I can't fight it or deny it no more
But it seems, I find it so hard to give
Is it real or is it just make-believe?

Are you that somebody?
Are you?

I got my fingers crossed

Too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
My fingers crossed
Your heart is a dancer
Too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you

Agnes is criminally underrated..

Matt M.

Agnes in general is criminally underrated. Unless you’re twerking all over the place, singing about your p*ssy, you just don’t get any recognition these days. The music industry is wack.

André Christiansen

@Jader Mörais Dont sweat it mate - I live in next door from Sweden (Norway) and we dont even have the same keyboard - but both are ASCII/QWERTY so the strokes are easy to understand ;-) Hehe but I still absolutely love my neighbour when they play their music...❤
