Lyrics

Every time you come around, I feel my world starts turning topsy-turvy And I just can't fight the spin Baby, won't you listen to this love whose heart's been missing? And don't hurt me 'cause I'm falling your way again Am I weak? Well, sometimes I just can hardly speak That I have to pinch myself to be sure That this love is more than I can endure Sweet thing, you've got me singing Ooo la-la-la, it's the way that you feel when you know it's real Ooo la-la-la, it's the warm that's inside when you're satisfied Ooo la-la-la, it's a dream that lasts forever Ooo la-la-la, let's stay together, oh I can see it there, that look upon your face is saying love's in making Boy, I know what's on your mind Love is for the lasting, and it's yours Just for the asking, for the taking 'Cause I'm falling your way this time Do I thrill? Well, sometimes I get subliminal chills That I have to pinch myself to be sure That this love is more than I can endure Sweet thing, you've got me singing Ooo la-la-la, it's the take to the sky on a natural high Ooo la-la-la, it's the Heaven that's sent when your heart's content Ooo la-la-la, it's a dream that lasts forever Ooo la-la-la, let's stay together Ooo la-la-la, don't ever go 'Cause I love you so, I love you so, baby Ooo la-la-la, don't ever go 'Cause I'll surely die if you ever say goodbye, my baby You got me falling Falling for you, falling with you Falling to you, falling after you, falling, ooh Sweet thing, you got me singing Ooo la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Sweet thing, whoa, you got me singing Ooo la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la Sweet thing, oh, you got me singing Ooo la-la-la, la-la-la It's the way that you feel when you know it is real Ooo la-la-la, it's the warm that's inside when you're satisfied Ooo la-la-la, it's a dream that lasts forever Ooo la-la-la, let's stay together Ooo (ooo la-la-la) ooo, sweet Ooo (ooo la-la-la) ooo, ooo Ooo (ooo la-la-la) ooo, sweet thing (ooo la-la-la) Ooo You know, everybody Sometimes you should just stop And take some time out to tell the one you love Just how much they mean to you Because you see, sometimes the needs of the one Outweigh the needs of the many And if you understand what I'm talking about Oh, let me hear you say, "Yeah" Oh, let me hear you say, "Yeah, yeah, yeah" Oh, let me hear you say, "Yeah, yeah, yeah" Oh, let me hear you say, "Yeah" Oh, I'm giving it up to you I said I'm falling (ooo la-la-la) I said I'm falling (ooo la-la-la)
