My heart is out of control This ole love struck soul Just lives for the moment you're around When I hold on to you It is all I can do Just to keep my feet on the ground Desperately loving you desperately When you're not here with me I get a little bit crazy Constantly I think about you constantly Look at what you've done to me I'm just like a little baby Oh I love you desperately Will I laugh will I cry Will I live will I die It all depends upon you And it is dangerous I know To be lost in you so But I am and there's nothing I can do Desperately loving you desperately When you're not here with me I get a little bit crazy Constantly I think about you constantly Look at what you've done to me I'm just like a little baby Oh I love you desperately Desperately loving you desperately When you're not here with me I get a little bit crazy Constantly I think about you constantly Look at what you've done to me I'm just like a little baby Oh I love you desperately
