Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been thinking about you
I hope that you've been thinking about me
I've been talking about you
I've been talking about you in my sleep
[Verse 2]
And when I dream, I dream about you
And when I scream, I scream about you
I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba
Op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba-whoa
I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba
Op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba-whoa
Oh, I go
[Verse 3]
I've been sad and ever sadder
I've been living, living far away
Now it's you, I think it's true
And I am running, running back to stay
[Verse 4]
And now I'm counting, I'm counting for two
And when I shout, I shout about you
I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba
Op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba-whoa
I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba
Op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba-whoa
Oh, I go
[Verse 5]
Here you come again
Playing with my feelings
There you go again
Playing with my heart
[Verse 6]
And when I dream, I dream about you
And when I scream, I scream about you
I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba
Op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba-whoa
I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba
Op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba-whoa
[Verse 7]
I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba
Op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba-whoa
I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba
Op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba-whoa
I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba
Op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba-whoa
[Verse 8]
I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba
(And when I dream, I dream about you)
Op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba-whoa
(And when I scream, I scream about you)
[Verse 9]
Oh, I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba
(And when I dream, I dream about you)
Op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba-whoa
(And when I scream, I scream about you)
[Verse 10]
I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba
(And when I dream, I dream about you)
Op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba-whoa
(And when I scream, I scream about you)
[Verse 11]
I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba
(And when I dream, I dream about you)
Op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba-whoa
(And when I scream, I scream about you)
[Verse 12]
Oh, I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba
(And when I dream, I dream about you)
Op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba-whoa
(And when I scream, I scream about you)
(There you go again)
[Verse 13]
I go op-op-op-op-op-op-wa-ba-da-ba

(There you go again)
(And when I scream, I scream about you)
(Playing with my heart)
