Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Met him at a party
Accidentally brushed his body
On the way to get a drink at the bar
I couldn't wait till later
Talking in the elevator
Then we're kissing in the back of the car
[PreChorus]
That voice in my head says to slow down
But it can't see the way you're looking at me right now
It may not be next week what I need
Then again, maybe it might be
[Chorus]
Could be forever or we might break
That's just the kind of risk that we take
My head is yelling that I could get hurt
But I'm gonna jump right in
Baby, with my heart first
[Chorus]
I gotta have ya, gotta see if this works
I gotta have ya, wake up in your t-shirt
[Verse 2]
Who knows what'll happen
Ain't that always kinda magic
When you don't know who's holding the cards
Could be a wish-I-never-knew-ya
Or permanently-tattoo-ya
Only the moon knows what's in the stars (What's in the stars)
[PreChorus]
Mmm, that voice in my head says to slow down
But it can't feel your hands on my hips right now
It may not be next year what I need
Then again, maybe it might be
[Chorus]
Could be forever or we might break
That's just the kind of risk that we take
My head is yelling that I could get hurt
But I'm gonna jump right in
Baby, with my heart first
[Chorus]
I gotta have ya, gotta see if this works (I gotta have ya)
I gotta have ya, wake up in your t-shirt
I gotta have ya, diving in heart first (Heart first)
I gotta have ya
[Bridge]
Ooh, I gotta have ya
And I can't even stop myself anymore (Ooh, I gotta have ya)
Oh, we couldn't end the perfect night
Outside my front door
[Chorus]
Could be forever or we might break
That's just the kind of risk that we take
My head is yelling that I could get hurt
But I'm gonna jump right in
Baby, with my heart first
[Chorus]
I gotta have ya, gotta see if this works (I gotta have ya)
I gotta have ya, wake up in your t-shirt (Wake up in your t-shirt, yeah)
I gotta have ya, diving in heart first (Diving in heart first)
I gotta have ya
[Outro]
Yeah, I gotta have ya
