(My captive heart...) I see him walkin' I sense the danger I hear his voice And my heart stops He wears the face of the night Ooh The perfect stranger An' I'm fallin' Ready or not Don't think about it Who knows where the wind blows (oooh) No doubt about it I'll go where he goes My captive heart (He holds the key to these emotions) My willing soul (Let me drown in this ocean) And I carry the flame And I play my part Like I did from the start As long as he is callin', callin' My captive heart Fire burns So I've been told But I like The way it feels He has a wild passion That drives away the cold An' I know (and I know) His touch is real Don't think about it I'll go where he goes My captive heart (He holds the key to these emotions) My willing soul (Let me drown in this ocean) And I carry the flame And I play my part Like I did from the start As long as he is callin', callin' My captive heart (repeat chorus) Don't think about it Who knows where the wind blows (ooh) No doubt about it I'll go where he goes My love... (He holds the key to these emotions...) (Let me drown in this ocean...) (And I play my part...) (As long as he's callin', callin'...) My willing soul... Set me free...My captive heart...
