Steve Tyrell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes, I'm in love, who looks at you the way I do?
When you smile I can tell we know each other very well
How can I show you that I'm glad I got to know you?
Cause I've heard some talk, they say you think I'm fine
This girl's in love and what I'd do to make you mine?
Tell me now is it so? Don't let me be the last to know
Cause I need your love, I want your love
Say you're in love and you'll be my guy
If not I'll just die
Tell me now is it so? Don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking, don't let my heart keep breaking
Cause I need your love, I want your love
Say you're in love and you'll be my guy
If not I'll just die
