Chorus: You got my body shaking Sends a shiver to my soul I didn't get no warning You got me shaking to the bone I got my secret weapon I'm gonna get you all alone, yeah, yeah So let your body lose control I was the boy walking tough, king of the street Believed in making my own destiny, yeah Victim of love, I made a promise that I'd never be Another one of love's fatalities Rule number one was running wild and always running free Didn't need no luck, my guardian angel looking over me You passed me by, I got the vibe, left me in disbelief Arrow to my heart at hurricane's velocity You pierced my emotional armor Bolt of lightning couldn't hit me harder Repeat Chorus Everybody say I aim too high, out of my league I gotta step into reality, yeah Different sides, different styles, certain tragedy I got you in my sights, so please believe it's harmony You pierced my emotional armor Bolt of lightning couldn't hit me harder Repeat Chorus Rap: This is simple as one, two, three We've been drawn together by a love-power energy I want to be your lover I want to be your friend I want to be your lifetime, not just your weekend Check, check it out, check it out, check it, check it out I want to be home boy, ain't no doubt I want to be your first choice, never let you down Love, peace, I'm out of here, brothers You pierced my emotional armor Bolt of lightning couldn't hit me harder Repeat Chorus to fade
