Tamia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thoughts of you run through my head
Every time that I'm near you
I realize that you're heaven sent, baby
I think you're truly something special
Just what my dreams are really made of
Let's stay together, you and me, boy
There's no one like you around, oh baby
I really like
What you've done to me
I can't really explain it
I'm so into you
I really like
What you've done to me
I can't really explain it
I'm so into you
It could be the way that you hold me
It could be the things that you say
(That you say)
Oh, I'm not too sure what it is, boy
But I know I like feeling this way, hey, ooh
I think you're truly something special
Just what my dreams are really made of
Let's stay together, you and be, boy
There's no one like around, oh, baby
I really like
What you've done to me
I can't really explain it
I'm so into you
I really like
What you've done to me
I can't really explain it
I'm so into you
I really like
What you've done to me
I can't really explain it
I'm so into you
I really like
What you've done to me
I can't really explain it
I'm so into you
I really like
What I feel when I'm with you
You're a dream come true
Don't you ever leave my sight
'Cause it feels so right
I really like
What you've done to me
I can't really explain it
I'm so into you
I really like
What you've done to me
I can't really explain it
I'm so into you
I really like
What you've done to me
I can't really explain it
I'm so into you
I really like
What you've done to me
I can't really explain it
I'm so into you
I'm so into you (I really like)
I'm so into you
Oh, I'm so into you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
