Sheets are falling off the bed
Run your fingers through my hair
I know what you're thinkin'
Take me there
You hypnotize me with your touch
And I can never get enough of you
It's true
My hand is only yours to hold
Oh, you know
I'm so obsessed
With the way that your lips
Kiss me like crazy
Oh, you amaze me
When you walk in the room
You got me losing it
Yeah, I'm a mess
Girl, I confess
I'm so obsessed
Oh, yeah
Every time you walk away
I guess your perfume likes to stay
On my pillow, on my shirt
Listen, baby
For what it's worth
I'm so obsessed
With the way that your lips
Kiss me like crazy
Oh, you amaze me
When you walk in the room
You got me losing it
Yeah, I'm a mess
