Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've been thinking about you

I hope that you've been thinking about me

I've been talking about you

I've been talking about you in my sleep

[Verse 2]

And when I dream, I dream about you

And when I scream, I scream about you

I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba

Op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba-whoa

I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba

Op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba-whoa

Oh, I go

[Verse 3]

I've been sad and ever sadder

I've been living, living far away

Now it's you, I think it's true

And I am running, running back to stay

[Verse 4]

And now I'm counting, I'm counting for two

And when I shout, I shout about you

I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba

Op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba-whoa

I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba

Op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba-whoa

Oh, I go

[Verse 5]

Here you come again

Playing with my feelings

There you go again

Playing with my heart

[Verse 6]

And when I dream, I dream about you

And when I scream, I scream about you

I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba

Op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba-whoa

I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba

Op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba-whoa

[Verse 7]

I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba

Op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba-whoa

I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba

Op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba-whoa

I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba

Op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba-whoa

[Verse 8]

I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba

(And when I dream, I dream about you)

Op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba-whoa

(And when I scream, I scream about you)
