The Flirtations
I only know in hill we goes so
And his brought about a change
His place the magic spell on me
And I just don't feel the same
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Something strange deep, so hold in me
Everytime I hear his name
It chains and bind, so I can't break free
But really I don't complain, oh, oh, oh
Right me, strikes when it touches my hand
The earth beneath so sired
Thunder roars deep in my heart
And there's nowhere I can hide
It's like an earthquake, stirring my soul
It's like an earthquake, taking control
It's like an earthquake, this feeling inside
There's nowhere to run, there's nowhere I hide
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
This love's so strong, it could never fail
Through of me everyday
We reach out to ten on a way to scale
Your love could be measure that way, oh, oh, oh
Since you teen, you up and down my spine
If every move you makes
I start to tremble when his lips lead mine
This feeling I can't escape
It's like an earthquake, stirring my soul
It's like an earthquake, taking control
It's like an earthquake, this feeling inside
There's nowhere to run, there's nowhere I hide
It's like an earthquake, there's thunder in lime
You're like an earthquake, it's so excited
You're like an earthquake, this feeling inside
There's nowhere to run, there's nowhere I hide
You can't believe in force of this love
On the things that it can't be
It shake the world with just one kiss
Believe what I'm telling you
It's like an earthquake, stirring my soul
It's like an earthquake, taking control
It's like an earthquake, this feeling inside
There's nowhere to run, there's nowhere I hide
It's like an earthquake, there's thunder in lime
You're like an earthquake, it's so excited
You're like an earthquake, this feeling inside
There's nowhere to run, there's nowhere I hide
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Lime me, strikes when it touches my hand
The earth beneath so sired
Thunder roars deep in my heart
And there's nowhere I can hide
It's like an earthquake, stirring my soul
It's like an earthquake, taking control
It's like an earthquake, this feeling inside
There's nowhere to run, there's nowhere I hide
It's like an earthquake, there's thunder in lime
You're like an earthquake, it's so excited
You're like an earthquake, this feeling inside
There's nowhere to run, there's nowhere to hide
It's like an earthquake, stirring my soul
It's like an earthquake, taking control
It's like an earthquake, this feeling inside
There's nowhere to run, there's nowhere I hide
It's like an earthquake, there's thunder in lime
You're like an earthquake, it's so excited
You're like an earthquake, this feeling inside
There's nowhere to run, there's nowhere I hide
