I get the feeling that I'm in way over my head I should be careful but I'm goin deeper instead Cause when she looks at me I want to run by her side Anyone could see A fool could drown in her eyes And I'm goin down for the last time I'm goin down for the last time Goin down, out of my mind I'm nearly out of my mind Love is comin over, over me It must be magic how she casts her spell over me Her secret passion's got me charmed I'll never get free Cause when she's holding me She lights a fire in my soul Any fool could see There's only one place to go
