Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm sad and I can't talk about it
All alone and right next to you
What I'm doing in a fine, this fine stretch of time
[Verse 2]
Just once, yeah, you know you like it
You know that I'm, I'm really ready
[Verse 3]
I'm sad and I can't talk about it
What I'm doing right next to you
What I'm doing in a fine, fine stretch of time
[Verse 4]
Just once, to know you like it
You know that I am really ready
[Verse 5]
I'm sad and I can't talk about it
What I'm doing right next to you
What I'm doing in a fine, fine stretch of time
[Verse 6]
Just once, yeah, you know you like it
You know that I'm really ready
To put my arm around you
I have to put one arm around you
Got to put one arm around you
Got to put my arm around you
Got to put one arm around you
Got to put one arm around you
[Verse 7]
That's you and, that's me and
That's me and you
That's you and, that's me and
That's me and you in a rocket ship
[Verse 8]
I need to be told what to do
I'm in a world of my own
I need to be told what to do
It needs to be told what to do
It's in a world of it's own
It needs to be told what to do
It's in a world of it's own
[Verse 9]
Got to put my arm around you
Got to put my arm around you
It needs to be told what to do
Oh, it's in a world, world of it's own
Got to put my arm around you
Got to put one arm around you
Got to put one arm around you
Got to put one arm around you
Got to put one arm around you
I'll touch the other side, side of your face
I'll touch the other side, side of your face
I'll touch the other side, side of your face
I'll touch the other side, side of your face
I'll touch the other side, side of your face
I'll touch the other side, side of your face
