Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh baby
Oh baby
The sun goes down
And the moon comes up
My heart is pumping for you
As a mad thing starts, yeah

Oh-oh
Yeah

Never in your wildest dreams
Did you ever get this feeling
Never in your wildest dreams, oh no
Never in your wildest dreams
Could it ever be this easy
Never in your wildest dreams, oh-oh

Oh baby
Oh baby
The night is hot outside your window
I hear people walking people talking
I smell your skin, I feel you breathing
Don't let me go not yet, not yet, not yet, not yet

Oh-oh
Yeah

Never in your wildest dreams
Did you ever get this feeling
Never in your wildest dreams, oh no
Never in your wildest dreams
Could it ever be this easy
Never in your wildest dreams, oh-oh

Oh baby
Oh baby
The world is slowly turning
As it turns I see your face
Touch your eyes, your lips, space

We've arrived at the place
Where they open the hearts
And fill them up with love
Filled with love, filled with love, filled with love
This on is pumping for you
As a mad thing starts, yes

Never in your wild
Never in your wild
Never in your wildest dreams (oh-oh)
Never in your wild
Never in your wild
Never in your wildest dreams (oh)

Never in your wildest dreams
Did you ever get this feeling
Never in your wildest dreams, oh no
Never in your wildest dreams
Did it ever feel this easy
Never in your wildest dreams, oh-oh
Never in your wildest dreams, oh-oh

Oh baby, no baby
Ooh, simply fine
Never in my wildest dreams
Ooh, simply fine
Ooh, simply fine

Never in your wildest dreams
Did you ever get this feeling
Never in your wildest dreams, oh no
Never in your wildest dreams
Could it ever feel this easy
Never in your wildest dreams, oh-oh





Never in your wildest dreams
Did you ever get this feeling, oh-oh
