Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And baby, I feel your oh so fine
And now softly, I will try to fascinate you
And then slowly, I will make you mine
I've got a crush on you girl
I hope you won't crash my world
By saying no to my fantasies
Being always thinking of you
So won't you be mine, please
Your beauty, is in fact so stunning that it's
Crazy, how you've taken over me
But it's lovely, to get closer and closer and closer
But baby, you've just have to set me free
I've got a crush on you girl
I hope you won't crash my world
By saying no to my fantasies
And it's oh so tough to
Being always thinking of you
So won't you be mine, please
Say yes, to all of my dreams
Fulfill all my fantasies
You don't have to tease me girl
Come on over and release me girl
Oh won't you please be
Please be mine
