Yeah yeah yeah yeah
He makes me do things I don't want to do
He makes me say things I don't want to say
& even though I want to break away
I can't (stop saying I adore him
I can't stop doing things for him)
He's got the power, the power of love over me
(Me, me me me me me)
He makes me stay when I don't want to stay
He makes me go when I don't want to go
& though I try to break the spell, I know
I can't (stop saying I adore him
I can't stop doing things for him)
He's got the power, the power of love over me
(Can't stop, can't stop, can't stop)
Can't stop the way I need him
It's got me crazy as can be
Oh but I love him
He's got a certain somethin'
& that's the one thing that has got a hold on me
(repeat verse 1)
(Can't stop, can't stop, can't stop)
(La la la's over sax solo)
Oh but I love him
(more la la la's)
(repeat verse 1)
(repeat "Can't stop sayin' I adore him" & "...doin' things for him", & fade)
