CHORUS:
I think about you all the time,
You're becoming an obsession,
Can't seem to get you off my mind,
It's a simple indiscretion.
Summer in the city, trying to make a living,
Doing our best to survive,
There's never enough - hours in the day,
To stop and feel you're really alive,
I was drifting away on a citybound train,
Thinking about the girl of my dreams,
I could feel my hands running through her hair,
As she wrapped her arms around me,
She's a mystery girl from another world,
She's all that I need to escape,
And I need to feel her arms around me,
I really need to get away.
CHORUS:
Got a burning yearning here inside,
Got to feel your heartbeat next to mine,
With your hair like gold and your eyes so blue,
There's one thing girl, I promise you,
CHORUS:
