Lyrics

I want you, I can't get you off my mind

Ooh, you turn me on (Turn me on, turn me on)

Stay

I want you, I can't get you off my mind

Ooh, you turn me on (Turn me on, turn me on)

Stay

I know you think it's wrong being here alone with me

But I wanna understand you and the way you feel

You must feel something or you wouldn't have let me get this far

So don't be afraid, just give in

(Ooh, baby)

Ooh baby, come on and just let me

(Ooh, baby)

Ooh baby, come on and just let me

I want you (I want you)

I can't get you off my mind (Hmm)

Ooh, you turn me on (Turn me on, turn me on, turn me on)

(Turn me on)

Stay

I want you, I can't get you off my mind

Ooh, you turn me on (Turn me on, turn me on, turn me on)

(Stay) Stay

If you let me have you just this once

I promise never to want you anymore

'Cause what's happening here just feels so good

And I must admit, the forbidden always arouses my temptations

(Ooh, baby)

Ooh baby, come on and just let me

(Ooh, baby)

Ooh baby, come on and just let me

I know you want me to lie to you, to myself

And pretend that I don't care

But you just don't understand

You're all I ever think about

I want you, I want you

(I'm thinking about you)

(I want you, I want you)

I want you

I can't get you off my mind

Ooh, you turn me on (Turn me on, turn me on)

(Hmm, look in your eyes)

Stay

I'm wishing I had you

I want you, I want you, I can't get you off my mind

(Hmm, turn me on)

Ooh, you turn me on (Turn me on, turn me on)

(Turn me on)

Stay

Do you think about me?

Do you feel the way I do?

I want you

(I want you)

Stay

I'm thinking about you

I want you, I want you, I can't get you off my mind

Ooh, you turn me on, I want you

Stay (Stay)

Yeah baby, it's like you seem to understand me

I want you, I want you

I want you so bad, I can taste you

Thinking about you
