Can't Get You Out of My Head
Lisa Bassenge Trio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just can't get you out of my head
Boy, your lovin' is all I think about
I just can't get you out of my head
Boy, you're more than I dare to think about

Every night, every day
Just to be there in your arms
Won't you stay?
Won't you lay?
Stay forever and ever and ever and ever

I just can't get you out of my head
Boy, your lovin' is all I think about
I just can't get you out of my head
Boy, you're more than I dare to think about

There's a dark secret in me
Don't leave me there in your heart
Set me free
Feel the need in me
Stay forever and ever and ever and ever

I just can't get you out of my head
I just can't get you out of




I just can't get you out
I just can't get you out
