[Chorus] You've got me under your spell again Sayin' those things again Makin' me believe that you're just mine You've got me dreamin' those dreams again Makin' those things again I've gotta take you back just one more time I swore the last time that you let me down That I wouldn't see you if you came around But I can't tell my heart what's right or wrong And I've been so lonely since you've been gone [Chorus] Well, everybody tells me that I'm a fool That I never should have put my faith in you And way down deep inside I guess I know it's true But no one else can make me feel the way you do [Chorus]
