Lost in a dream
Don't know which way to go
(Let me tell you that)
You aren't all that you seem
And baby I'm movin' way too slow
I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
How about some information please
Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever, oh, oh, oh
Or am I caught in a hit and run
Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together, oh, oh, oh
Or are you just having fun?
Time's standing still
Waiting for some small clue
(Let me tell you that)
I keep getting chills
When I think your love is true
I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
How about some information please
Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever, oh, oh, oh
Or am I caught in a hit and run
Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together, oh, oh, oh
Or are you just having fun?
You are so hard to read
You play hide and seek
With your true intentions
If you're only playing games
I'll just have to say: buh buh buh buh buh buh bye
Do do you love me?
Do do you love me?
(Hey baby)
Do do you love me?
Do do you love me?
(Hey baby)
Do do you love me?
Do do you love me?
(Hey baby)
Do do you love me?
Do do you love me?
(Tell me baby)
I've been a fool before
Wouldn't like to get my love caught
In the slammin' door
Are you more than hot for me
Or am I a page in your history book
I don't mean to make demands
But the word and the deed go hand in hand
How about some information please (please, please, please)
Straight up now tell me
Tell me
Straight up now tell me
Tell me
Straight up now tell me
Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever, oh, oh, oh
Or am I caught in a hit and run
Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together, oh, oh, oh
Or are you just having fun?
Straight up now tell me
Do you really want to love me forever, oh, oh, oh
Or am I caught in a hit and run
Straight up now tell me
Is it gonna be you and me together, oh, oh, oh
Or are you just having fun?
