When I drove past your house in the night
And the light was still on, whoa-oh-oh
Though you told me there's nobody home
Swore I saw your silhouette, whoa-oh-oh
Thought you'd run a mile, you'd run a mile
You drive me wild
As I drove past your house in the light
My belief was suspended
There are too many times (but you wanna wanna)
And too many tears (but you wanna wanna)
That you've caused for me (but you wanna wanna, but you wanna wanna)
Can't we come together (but you wanna wanna)
And share all our secrets (but you wanna wanna)
From both sides (but you wanna wanna, but you wanna wanna)
I can see through you as you're watching me
And I'm looking at you
Ooh, you wanted to let me down gently
I couldn't believe my eyes, whoa-oh-oh
Your shadow in the window
In the arms of another guy, whoa-oh-oh
Ooh, I'm on the scent you're heaven-sent
You'll send me down
Ooh, you told me that you were out
For the whole of the evening
There are too many times (but you wanna wanna)
And too many tears (but you wanna wanna)
That you've caused for me (but you wanna wanna, but you wanna wanna)
Can't we come together (but you wanna wanna)
And share all our secrets (but you wanna wanna)
From both sides (but you wanna wanna, but you wanna wanna)
I can see through you as you're watching me
And I'm looking at you
You never wanted to hide it
You wear no disguise
Coming straight from my lover's lips
Nothing but a pack of lies
I'm gonna get you
I wanted you
Break my state of mind
There are too many times (but you wanna wanna)
And too many tears (but you wanna wanna)
That you've caused for me (but you wanna wanna, but you wanna wanna)
Can't we come together (but you wanna wanna)
And share all our secrets (but you wanna wanna)
From both sides (but you wanna wanna, but you wanna wanna)
Some type of magic (but you wanna wanna)
Could take us right back (but you wanna wanna)
To the start again (but you wanna wanna, but you wanna wanna)
We could have had memories (but you wanna wanna)
That would have last (but you wanna wanna)
Us a lifetime (but you wanna wanna, but you wanna wanna)
I can see through you as you're watching me
And I'm looking at you
Ooh, you drive me wild
