[Verse 1]
It took so long to find you
Now I do nothing but think about you
And though I feel this way
You're telling me it's wrong
It's more than mere insinuation
And far beyond my imagination
If you can't tell yourself allow me to be strong
[Hook 1]
You won't believe but I can see it in you eyes
[Hook 2]
You're a victim of a modern heart
Afraid of falling in love
A victim of a modern heart, ow
You turn away instead of calling it love
It's love, it's love
[Verse 2]
You know it's not the way you planned it
There is nothing you can do about it
And if you feel the same, why must you play the game?
You've got him on your mind
But I'll be there sometime
(Hook 2)
