When you looked into my eyes  
I stood there like I was hyp-notised  
You sent a feeling to my spine  
A feeling warm and smooth and fine  
But all I could do were stand there paralyzed  
When we kissed, ooh what a thrill  
You took my hand and, ooh baby, what a chill  
I felt like grabbin' you real tight  
Squeeze and squeeze with all my might  
But all I could do was stand there paralyzed  
 
Oh yeah lucky me, I'm singing ev'ry day, o-o-oh  
Ever since that day you came my way, o-o-oh  
You made my life for me just one big happy game  
I'm gay ev'ry morning  
At night I'm still the same  
Well do you remember that wonderful time  
When you held my hand and swore that you'd be mine  
In front of preacher you said  
"I do" I couldn't say a word for thinking of you  
All I could do was stand there paralyzed  
Oh, lucky me, I'm singing every day,  
ever since the day you came my way, o-o-oh    
You made my life for me just one big happy game    
I'm gay every morning, at night I'm still the same    
Do you remember that wonderful time   
When you held my hand   
And swore that you'd be mine    
In front of the preacher you said " I do",    
I couldn't say a word for thinking of you    
All I could do was stand there paralyzed    
All I could do was stand there paralyzed
