Every time I see you I got to jump and shout
I haven't got a clue what it's all about
Oh I never had a dream that looked so much like you
I'll do anything that you want me to

(think it over, think it over)
There's nothin' you can do to make me want to stop
(think it over, think it over)
Oh every time you run around it makes me want to pop 

What's it gonna take to make you change your line?
What's it gonna take to get your valentine?
How can I be sure that you're the one for me?
I only know that you wanted to be free

(Think it over, think it over)
There's nothin' you can do to make me want to stop
(Think it over, think it over)
Every time you run around it makes me want to pop
Nothin' you can do to make me want to stop

Every time you run around makes me want to pop
Nothin' you can do to make me want to stop
Think it over
Pop (echo)
Pop

Every time I see you I got to jump and shout
I haven't got a clue what it's all about
I never had a dream that looked so much like you
Well I'll do anything that you want me to

(Think it over, think it over)
There's nothin' you can do to make me want to stop
(Think it over, think it over)
Every time you run around it makes me want to pop
(think it over, think it over)

Well nothin' you can do to make me want to stop
(Think it over, think it over)
E-every time you run around it makes me want to pop
There's nothin' you can do to make me want to stop
Every time you run around it makes me want to pop
There's nothin' you can do to make me want to stop
Think it over
Yeah

You gotta think it over

Nothin' you can do
Nothin' you can do

Nothin' you can do
Nothin' you can do
