My Body Keeps Changing My Mind
Karen Carpenter Lyrics

You, you're driving me wild
You are the reason behind my wild behavior or I am feeling wild, excited and impulsive because of you.

You're making me fall in love
You are the one who is making me fall in love with you, arousing romantic feelings in me.

In love with you baby
I am in love with you, dear one, and I can't help it.

I, I'm losing control
I am losing my composure or power of self-determination when I'm with you.

I don't wanna let go yet
I don't want to end this exciting and pleasurable experience, desire to keep enjoying it.

Till you want me
I will not leave or stop, until/unless you are also interested.

You, you're all that I need
You are the only thing I need to feel content and happy.

You're all that I want
You are everything that I desire or long for in a romantic partner.

And I'd sure love to love you
I would really love to be in love with you and express my emotions and feelings to you.

I, I gotta go slow
I must slow down or take it easy because I don't want things to get out of hand or jeopardize our relationship.

Keep it under control now
I must keep my emotions and urges under control to avoid doing something that I may regret later.

But my body keeps changing my mind
Although my brain tells me to be careful and hold back, my physical urges and feelings keep urging me on toward you.

Keeps changing my heart
My heart is swayed and moved by my physical sensations and desires rather than what my brain tells me is right.

When we're dancing
When we are close together, enjoying one another's company, and connecting through the intimacy of dancing.

My body says love you tonight
My physical sensations and urges are telling me that I am in love with you, right here and now.

To drive me out of my mind
These physical sensations are so intense that they are overwhelming my ability to think clearly and rationally.

Well, I know it wouldn't be right
Although my physical urges and desires are strong and compelling, I know that acting on them would not be moral, ethical, or prudent.

To say take me home tonight
It would not be appropriate or in our best interest for me to ask you to take me home with you tonight.

When we get to dancing
When we are out on the dance floor, moving and grooving to the music, and feeling that magnetic attraction between us.

And we fly together across the floor
As we dance, we feel as though we are floating on air, moving as one, and connecting on a deep level.

My heart's crying out for more
My heart is aching for more of this wonderful experience, or I want to be closer to you both physically and emotionally.

'Cause I just can't resist you
I can't help but be drawn to you, pulled in by your irresistible charm and physical attractiveness.
