Stubbed my toe running to your house
Broke my leg running to your house
Lost my head running to your house
Broke my crown running to your house

Oh my God
Is this what it feels like to be in love?
Is this what it feels like?
Oh my love
It feels like God

Just you shut my mouth
Just try and shut my mouth

Stubbed my toe running to your house
Broke my leg running to your house
Lost my head running to your house
Broke my crown running to your house

Well, oh my God
Is this what it feels like to be in love?
Is this what it feels like?
Oh my love
It feels like God

Just you shut my mouth
Just try and shut my mouth
Mad pilot fly
Just try and shut my mouth
Mad pilot fly
