I'm not much on mystery Yeah you gotta be careful what you dream I thought this might pass with time Yeah I thought I was satisfied [Chorus] But oh baby let me tell you I got a thing about you Baby let me tell you I got a thing about you It don't matter what you say It don't matter what you do I, I, I, got a thing about you Somewhere deep in the middle of the night Lovers hold each other tight Whisper in their anxious ears Words of love that disappear [Chorus] Baby you hold some strange control over me Yeah it's so wild it hypnotizes me
