Lyrics

I can’t stop this feelin’, deep inside of me
Girl, you just don’t realize, what you do to me
When ya’ hold me in your arms, so tight
You let me know, everything’s all right
I, I’m hooked on a feelin’
High on believin’, that you’re in love, with me
Lips are sweet as candy, the taste stays on my mind
Girl, you keep me thirsty for another cup of wine
I got it bad for you girl, but I don’t need a cure
I’ll just stay addicted and hope I can endure
All the good love, when we’re all alone
Keep it up, girl, yeah! ya’, turn me on

I, I’m hooked on a feelin’
High on believin’, that you’re in love with me

All the good love, when we’re all alone
Keep it up, girl, yeah! ya’, turn me on

I, I’m hooked on a feelin’
I’m high on believin’, that you’re in love with me
