I can't stop this feeling Deep inside of me Girl, you just don't realize What you do to me When you hold me In your arms so tight You let me know Everything's all right I, I'm hooked on a feeling High on believing 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, you turn me on I, I'm hooked on a feeling High on believing That you're in love with me All the good love When we're all alone Keep it up, girl Yeah, you turn me on I, I'm hooked on a feeling I'm high on believing That you're in love with me
