I can't break away from you
Ooh, there's something about you that I can't explain
I get excited when I hear your name
I can't break away from you
Deep in my mind you're always here
Whenever I turn you're always near
Oh, just can't, just can't, just can't
I've only known you for a little while
Yet, I can truly say I dig your style
Even the way you call my name
It sounds like a song the angels sang
Just being near you gives me satisfaction
I tell you it's some new kind of action
Your love I could never, ever turn away
Why don't you hear me when I try to say
I can't break away from you
You're like a mirror in the back of my mind
I see reflections of you all the time
I can't break away from you
Deep in my mind you're always there
You stay around me everywhere
Yeah, baby, oh, yeah
(We have a different style of love)
Different (So different, and so new)
(We have a crazy kind of love) So crazy
(Crazy, yes it's true)
(And I'm gonna never turn away)
Oh, do you hear what I say
I can't break away from you
You're like a mirror in the back of my mind
I see reflections of you all the time
I can't break away, no, from you
Deep in my mind you're always there
Whenever I turn you're always here
Oh, you can't, never get away from you
(I can't break away)
When I rise in the morning
(I can't break away)
You, you, you, oh, you, you got the power
(I can't break away)
Each and every hour, hey, babe
(I can't break away)
You been a mighty good leader, oh, yeah
(I can't break away)
You been a mighty good leader, well
(I can't break away)
You saved my soul, yes, you did
(I can't break away)
Oh, ho, ho, you been a mighty good leader, well
