Said I’m feeling you, Tell me are you feeling me too
I’d like to know your name but I'm so scared,
Afraid of what you might say…
But if I don't ever see you again, can’t let you just walk away…
Now you’re approaching me, excuse me can I know your name?
Took the opportunity, and now we’re standing here face to face
It’s amazing that your so beautiful tell me are you really real
And you say you wanna see me again you have been watchin me too
I’m so excited excited excited excited!
