Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ahhh crush
See you blowin' me a kiss
It doesn't take a scientist
To understand whats goin' on baby
If you see something in my eye
Let's not over analyze
(Bridge)
So let it be
What it'll be
Don't make a fuss and go crazy over you and me
Here's what I'll do
I'll play the wuss, not like we have a date with destiny
(Chorus:)
It's just (a)
A little crush (crush)
Not like I faint, every time we touch
It's just (a) some little thing (crush)
Not like every thing I do
Ooh depends on you ooh
Sha la la la
Sha la la la
It's raisin' my adrenalin'
You're banging on a heart of tin
Please don't make too much of it baby
Say that were for ever more
That's not what im lookin' for,
All I can commit to is maybe (maybe)
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
(dream version)
Vanilla skies (vanilla skies)
White picket fences in your eyes
A vision of you and me (and me...)
