There you stood, that'll teach ya To look so good and feel so right Let me tell you 'bout the girl I met last night It's understood, I had to reach ya I let the wheel of fortune spin I touched your hand before the crowd Started crushin' in Now I'm higher than a kite I know I'm gettin' hooked on your love Talkin' to myself, runnin' in the heat Beggin' for your touch in the middle Of the street and I -- I can't stop thinking 'bout you girl I must be living in a fantasy world I've searched the whole world over To find a heart so true Such complete intoxication I'm high on you Smart and coy, a little crazy The kinda face that starts a fight Let me tell you 'bout the girl I had last night Piercin' eyes, like a raven You seemed to share my secret sin We were high before the night Started kickin' in Now I'm screamin' in the night I know I'm gettin' hooked on your love Talkin' to myself, runnin' in the heat Beggin' for your touch in the middle Of the street and I -- I can't stop thinking 'bout you girl I must be living in a fantasy world I've searched the whole world over To find a heart so true Such complete intoxication I'm high on you
