Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are the only one I want right now,
To hold.
I'm in love with the way you dress,
The way you smile,
The way you want me back.
Butterflies are taking over this heart.
Take you on a date to flaunt you off,
Now I know I'm yours.
I'm in love with the way you laugh,
The way you talk,
The way you want me back,
And oh yes, I'm in love with a girl.
I don't know why I can't tell you enough,
How much I love you,
How much I care.
Oh yes, Oh yes,
I'm in love, I'm in love,
With a girl.
Oh yes, Oh yes,
I'm in love, I'm in love with a girl.
