Here I go (higher, higher) Here I go (higher, higher) Here I go, go, go, go, go You gotta get me to the world on time You gotta get me to the world on time The minute you walk in the room I break into a sweat My hands begin to shake so bad I can't light my cigarette Then you start walkin' towards me and my cool comes all undone If I could get my feet to move I'd turn around and run My pulse is beatin' faster And I'm headin' for disaster Here I go (higher, higher) Here I go (higher, higher) Here I go Get me to the world on time You gotta get me to the world on time One kiss from you and my whole body starts to actin' strange You shake up all my hormones, you put me through a change This chemical reaction isn't easy to refine You drive me to distraction, you disturb my peace of mind You got me spinning like a top now And I don't know how to stop now Is this what loves all about Lately I feel so without Wild sensations Sweet frustrations You get me goin' and there's no slowin' me down Here I go Whoa here I go, go Whoa, Here I go, go, go
