Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Could you give me a bit of your time
Want to show you what's here in my mind
That I'm in love with you
Without control
Yes I'm in love with you
You're in my mind, oh baby
You're so in my mind
Tell me who is the lucky guy
Who has got you right there at his side
When I'm in love with you
Without control
Yes I'm in love with you
You're in my mind, oh baby
You're so in my mind

I'd like to know, give me all your credentials
Cause girl to me, you're so sweet and special
I want to know, give me your name and number
Don't you know girl, I got to be your lover
I need to be your lover, oh babe
Could you give me
Won't it mean I know you're down

Want to show you what's on my mind
That I'm in love with you
Without control
Yes I'm in love with you
You're in my mind, oh baby
You're so in my mind

Yes I'm in love with you
Without control
Yes I'm in love with you
You're so in my mind
You're in my mind, oh baby
You're so in my mind

I need your name and number (give me your name and number)
Give me, oh give me your name and number (got to be your lover)
Need your name and number (give me your name and number)
Got to be your lover (got to be your lover)




Oh baby
