Can't you see me here on overload And this time I blame you Looking out for you to hold my hand It feels like I could fall Now love me right, like I know you can We could lose it all When love takes over (yeah-ah-eah) You know you can't deny When love takes over (yeah-ah-eah) 'Cause something's here tonight Tonight, tonight, tonight Tonight, tonight, tonight Tonight, tonight, tonight Tonight, tonight, tonight Tonight, tonight, tonight I-I-I'll be loving you all the time, it's true 'Cause I-I-I'll want to make it right, with you When love takes over When love takes over When love takes over When love takes over When love takes over When love takes over When love takes over Over, over, over, over Over, over, over, over Over, over When love takes over (yeah-ah-eah) You know you can't deny When love takes over (yeah-ah-eah) 'Cause something's here tonight
