Take a moment for yourself Get close with the lights down low You and I and no one else I get the feeling that I wanna explode Baby you grab my attention Tension burning, fever high Take me to another dimension Tonight the rules do not apply I can't stop this feeling baby Only you can make me come alive When we're crashing, let's have passion Boy, you've got my heart on overdrive I can't stop this feeling baby Only you can make me come alive When we're crashing, let's have passion Boy, you've got my heart on overdrive This is where I wanna be Hands up, feel the bass in my heart Give me faith and I will leave I take the risk 'cause you're never too far Right now I'm drowning in emotion Caution flies right out the door Baby you're pushing this devotion I can only ask for more I can't stop this feeling baby Only you can make me come alive When we're crashing, let's have passion Boy, you've got my heart on overdrive When my head is spinning, all hands to the ceiling I begin to come alive When we're crashing, let's have passion Boy, you've got my heart on overdrive Overdrive, overdrive Overdrive, overdrive Overdrive, overdrive Overdrive, overdrive
