Hooked on the touch of your hand, high on how you understand 
Lost when you whispered "hello" ,something in your eyes said "don't go" 

I just had to stay, couldn't go away from you, you knew what to do to get me 
Hung up on you,hung up on you,hung up on you,hung up on you 

You knew, the first time we met that I could never forget 
You held me so close to you, I could never get over you 

You were so aware how to make me care and keep me 
Hung up on you,hung up on you,hung up on you,hung up on you 

Yeah, you got me where you wanted me, I am where I really want to be 
Hung up,hung up,hung up on you 

I'm so hung up on you that I don't know what I would do without you 
Oh it will take me forever to get enough of you and I can't help it if I'm 
Hung up on you,hung up on you,hung up on you baby,hung up on you 
Hung up on you,hung up on you...
