When you looked into my eyes I stood there like I was hypnotised You sent a feeling to my spine A feeling warm and smooth and fine But all I could do were stand there paralyzed When we kissed, ooh what a thrill You took my hand and, ooh baby, what a chill I felt like grabbin' you real tight Squeeze and squeeze with all my might But all I could do were stand there paralyzed Oh yeah lucky me, I'm singing every day Ever since that day you came my way You made my life for me just one big happy game I'm gay every morning At night I'm still the same Do you remember that wonderful time You held my hand and swore that you'll be mine In front of preacher you said "I do" I couldn't say a word for thinking of you All I could do was stand there paralyzed.
