Lyrics
A Thing About You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm not much on mystery
Yeah you gotta be careful what you dream
I thought this might pass with time
Yeah I thought I was satisfied
Chorus:
But oh baby let me tell you, I got a thing about you
Baby let me tell you, I got a thing about you
It don't matter what you say
It don't matter what you do
I, I, I, got a thing about you
Somewhere deep in the middle of the night
Lovers hold each other tight
Whisper in their anxious ears
Words of love that disappear
Chorus
Baby you hold some strange control over me
Yeah it's so wild it hypnotizes me
Raise Both Arms and Repeat Chorus
