I can't stop this feeling I got
I feel it right down to my toes
I can't stop you got me so hot
My body wants you, don't you know
I can't stop this feeling I got
Is running all down my leg
I can't stop this feeling I got
Hey why you wanna make me wait

I can't stop, can't stop this feeling I got
I can't stop, can't stop this feeling I got
I can't stop, can't stop this feeling I got

You know I can't sleep at night
I can't stop, you know I love iyou a lot
