If a boy had a chance A chance with someone like you Are you gonna break his heart? Let him cry for the moon? Are you hiding somewhere behind those eyes? I just freeze Every time you see through me And it's all over you Electric blue On my knees Help me, baby Tell me, what can I do? Electric blue Oh, I had a dream For a moment I believed it was true Oh, I'd have given anything Just to be there with you Are you hiding Somewhere behind those eyes? I just freeze Every time you see through me And it's all over you Electric blue In too deep Standing here waiting As I'm breaking into Electric blue I can see Can see that it may be just a vision for you Electric blue On my knees Help me, baby Tell me what can I do? Electric blue
