Sure feels like love, the best I remember
Sure feels like love, the best I recall
It's so good, it feels like the first time I reached out
And really went for it all

Sure feels like love, 'cause I don't remember
The last time that love felt this strong
So you're either gonna have to stop what you're doin' to me right now
Or you're gonna have to keep doin' it all night long

You're drivin' me crazy and you may even try
I know you're a lady, there's no way of denyin'
I don't remember the last time love felt this strong
So you're either gonna have to stop what you're doin' to me right now
Or you're gonna have to keep doin' it all night long

Sure feels like love, the best I remember
Sure feels like love, the best I recall
It's so good, it feels like the first time I reached out
And really went for it all

Sure feels like love, 'cause I don't remember
The last time that love felt this strong
So you're either gonna have to stop what you're doin' to me right now
Or you're gonna have to keep doin' it all night long

You're either gonna have to stop what you're doin' to me right now
Or you're gonna have to keep doin' it all night long
