I've tried so many times 2 erase your memory from my mind 
Yet, it doesn't ever last 4 long 
I see your picture then I hear your voice 
Our love must be stronger than before 

Every time I see your eyes (Touch me) 
Touch me (Hold me) 
Every time I hear your voice (Touch me) 
Hold me 

Here I stand defenseless as I look into your eyes 
There's nothing left 2 say or do 
you fill my head with promises and all your pretty lies 
Would it be so wrong 2 want you by my side? 

Every time I see your eyes (Touch me) 
Touch me (Hold me) 
Every time I hear your voice (Touch me) 
Touch me (Hold me) 

I'm captured by my senses, lost in your reverie 
Our love must be stronger than before 

Every time I see your eyes (Touch me) 
Oh, hold me, babe (Hold me) 
Every time I hear your voice (Touch me) 
Touch me (Hold me) 

Every time I see your eyes (Touch me) 
I want to hold you, baby (Hold me) 
(Hold me, touch me, kiss me all over) 
Every time I hear your voice (Touch me) 
Hold me, kiss me all over (Hold me) 

Every time I see your eyes (Touch me) 
Kiss me, baby (Hold me)
