Well I can't lie and I won't try
I ain't waited this long just to hide
This could be wrong but I don't mind
Can't disguise the way I feel tonight
I will be there when you're calling
I will catch you when you're falling
You tantalise I'm hypnotised tonight
You say that this feels like a dream
Won't deal in dreams I've put them all aside
And I believe I've changed for good
I feel so strong I know this must be right
Just your presence makes me hazy
You whip me up when I'm feeling lazy
You tantalise I'm hypnotised tonight
And though it might seem ideal
I worry that it isn't real
It's on my mind all the time
Feeling fine is that a crime?
I won't listen to the people
Who tell me it's wrong to feel this way
They don't feel the way I feel
Electric shock shoots through me every day
Now it seems my brain's on fire
This reaction you inspire
You tantalise I'm hypnotised tonight
Just your presence makes me hazy
You whip me up when I'm feeling lazy
You tantalise I'm hypnotised tonight
