Well, I think I'm goin' out of my head Yes, I think I'm goin' out of my head Over you, over you I want you to want me, I need you so badly I can't think of anything but you And I think I'm goin' out of my head Yes, I think I'm goin' out of my head Over you, over you I see you each morning But you just walk past me you don't even know that I exist Goin' out of my head over you Out of my head over you out of my head day and night Night and day and night, wrong or right I must think of a way into your heart There's no reason why my being shy should keep us apart And I think I'm goin' out of my head Yes, I think I'm goin' out of my head Goin' out of my head over you Out of my head over you out of my head day and night Night and day and night, wrong or right Night and day and night Wrong or right, day or night Everyday, every, every day
