I stand back when love tries to touch me

And I know that it's wrong but I'm safe when I'm strong

Keeping feelings locked in this sheltered heart of mine

Said, "I'll never give in", then I see you again

And with one touch I'm all caught up

In the midst of a dangerous dance

In your arms, I got nowhere to run

I don't stand a chance

When I look in your eyes I get so emotional

And a flame starts to rise igniting what used to be

In the heat of the night I get so emotional

Happens every time you're near, emotional

I remember the last time I let you in

I was burned by the flame, I can still feel the pain

And it scares me, it scares me to know I can still feel the same

As I felt the last time, I chose hearts over mind

All those memories rushing back to me

And I'm trembling with every embrace

Trying to hide those old feelings

That I thought time had erased

When I look in your eyes I get so emotional

And a flame starts to rise igniting what used to be

In the heat of the night I get so emotional

It happens every time you're near, emotional

I know there's no escaping what I'm feeling inside

So just hold me tonight 'cause baby

This feeling's just too strong to fight

(When I look in your eyes)

I get so emotional

(Oh, I'm so emotional)

In the heat of the night I get so emotional

When I look in your eyes I get so emotional

(Get so, I get so)

(Happens every time you're near, emotional)

When I look in your eyes I get so emotional

(Oh, I'm so emotional)

In the heat of the night I get so emotional

(I get so emotional)

When I look in your eyes I get so emotional

(It seems to happen every time you're near, emotional)

When I look in your eyes I get so emotional

In the heat of the night I get so emotional
