I fell in love with you
The moment that we met
And till the end of time
I never will forget
I lose it every time I'm close to you
Under your spell you know there's nothing I can do
 
[Chorus]
Please stay my babe
Who knows when we'll dance again
No matter what to no regret
I'll do all that I can just to get you
To stay my babe
Who knows when we'll dance again
And I don't want to say goodbye
But who knows where we'll be after tonight
 
There's nothing stopping us
You don't have to go
The night is young for us
There's more we need to know
I lose it every time I'm close to you
Under your spell you know there's nothing I can do
 
[Chorus]
 
I lose it every time I'm close to you
Under your spell you know there's nothing I can do
 
[Chorus]
