You're the thing that makes me weak
My heart knows of the beat I seek
And I found it (just got lucky)
Oh yes I found it (just got lucky)

I never worry that your love is fake
I'm feeling easy and I'm feeling ???
Cause I found it (just got lucky)
Before I found it (just got lucky)

And I never felt this way before
Like a dog always begging for more

I've been fooled by love so many times
I gave up on love and silly rhymes
Got my feelings always on my heart
Locked doors, the key was cut, it was a fake
Now I'm such a very lucky girl
Gang way, ???? 

(gotta hear me say) Got the answer and it's plain to see
(gotta hear me say) I'm for you and you're for me

I feel a quiver that I never miss
The sky's the limit with a friend like this
And I found it (just got lucky)
Together we found it (just got lucky)

And I never felt this way before
Like a dog always begging for more

I've been fooled by love so many times
I gave up on love and silly rhymes
Got my feelings always on my heart
Locked doors, the key was cut, it was a fake
Now I'm such a very lucky girl
Gang way, ???? 

Gotta hear me say
Gotta hear me say
Gotta hear me say
Just got lucky
Just got lucky
Just got lucky
