[Intro]
Butterflies, butterflies
Mhm
Mhm-mm

[Verse 1]
Lately when I look into your eyes
I realize you're the only one I need in my life
Baby, I just don't know how to describe
How lovely you make me feel inside

[Chorus]
You give me butterflies, got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflies
You give me butterflies, got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflies

[Verse 2]
It seemed like the likely thing
From the start you told me I would be your queen
Never had I imagined such a feeling
Joy is what you bring, I want to give you everything

[Chorus]
You give me butterflies, got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflies
You give me butterflies, got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflies

[Bridge]
You and I are destiny
I know now you were made for me
Oh, ooh, I can't control it
It's driving me, taking over me and I—

[Chorus]
You give me butterflies (Butterflies), got me flying so high in the sky (Butterflies)
I can't control, I can't control it (Butterflies)
You give me butterflies (Butterflies), got me flying so high in the sky (Butterflies)
I can't control the butterflies, oh, oh no, oh no (Butterflies)

[Outro]
You give me something I just can't deny (Got me flyin' so high in the sky), something that's so real
I just can't control the way I feel inside of me (I can't control the butterflies, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no)
You give me something I just can't deny (Butterflies), something that's so real (Got me flyin' so high in the sky)
I just can't control the way I feel (Oh, I've never felt like this)
