I just wanna
I just, I just wanna

It keeps me up at night thinking 'bout what you're thinking 'bout
Subjects in my mind, running wild, images of a parallel life

You don't even have a clue
Of all the things I'm doing to you

What's wrong in reality feels so right in my fantasy
What's wrong in reality feels so right in my fantasy
I just wanna make you feel good
I just wanna make you feel good
I just wanna make you feel good
I just wanna make you feel good

It keeps me on my toes that you don't know, don't know
And it sweeps me off my feet when I sleep, when I wake I remember we can never be

You don't even have a clue
Of all the things I'm doing to you

What's wrong in reality feels so right in my fantasy
What's wrong in reality feels so right in my fantasy
I just wanna make you feel good
I just wanna make you feel good
I just wanna make you feel good
I just wanna make you feel good

I just wanna
I just wanna
