Now I’m gonna say at all and all
And now I can feel it and say
You know I’m gonna feel er, no?

Because you know right then
And you hold it back
You know I did it, did you on the inside
A dop tu tu ru tu ru tu

Because you want me more than you say my name
And you wanna take it and you walk away but
Me, I know
