Jeff Cascaro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm tripping out,
I'm tripping out over you babe, over you
I'm tripping out, I'm tripping out over you
Each day I left with you
Is like a day without sunshine
You've become a part of me
You're not like other girls
Always in my imagination
There's pounding in my heart
It's just because of you
You got me
I'm tripping out,
I'm tripping out over you babe, over you
I'm tripping out, I'm tripping out over you
Let me be your slave
Because I want to wish on you
I‘ll do anything you say
Anything you want me to do
To me you are my queen
And I am your knight
In hammer shining armour
Standing good over your love,
The love you've given to me
You got me
I'm tripping out,
I'm tripping out over you babe, over you
I'm tripping out, I'm tripping out over you
