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-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-I, I'm hooked on a feelin'

High on believin' that you're in love with me

[Instrumental Interlude]

All the good love when we're all alone

Keep it up, girl, yeah ya turn me on

I-I-I, I'm hooked on a feelin'

I'm high on believin' that you're in love with me

[Instrumental to end]
