Lyrics

Since the moment I spotted you

Like walking 'round with little wings on my shoes

My stomach's filled with the butterflies

Ooh, and it's all right

Bouncing 'round from cloud to cloud

I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down

If I said I didn't like it then you know I'd lied

But every time I try to talk to you

I get tongue-tied

It turns out everything I say to you

Comes out wrong and never comes out right

So I'll say why don't you and I get together

And take on the world, we'll be together forever

Heads we will and tails we'll try again

So I say why don't you and I hold each other

Fly to the moon and straight on to heaven

'Cause without you they're never gonna let me in

When's this fever gonna break?

I think I've handled more than any man can take

I'm like a love-sick puppy chasin' you around

Ooh, and it's all right

Bouncin' 'round from cloud to cloud

I got the feelin' like I'm never gonna come down

If I said I didn't like it then you know I'd lied

Every time I try to talk to you

I get tongue-tied

It turns out everything I say to you

Comes out wrong and never comes out right

So I'll say "Why don't you and I get together

And take on the world, we'll be together forever?"

Heads we will and tails we'll try again

So I say why don't you and I hold each other

Fly to the moon and straight on to heaven

'Cause without you they're never gonna let me in

Slowly I begin to realize this is never gonna end

But about the same time you walk by

And I say "Oh here we go again, oh"

Every time I try to talk to you

I get tongue-tied

It turns out everything I say to you

Comes out wrong and never comes out right

So I'll say why don't you and I get together

And take on the world, we'll be together forever

Heads we will and tails we'll try again

So I say why don't you and I hold each other

Fly to the moon and straight on to heaven

'Cause without you they're never gonna let me in

So I'll say why don't you and I get together

And take on the world, we'll be together forever

Heads we will and tails we'll try again

So I say why don't you and I hold each other

Fly to the moon and straight on to heaven

'Cause without you they're never gonna let me in
