["Looking In" Instrumental Intro]

["Butterfly" Intro]
Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

[Intro]
Aloha!
How you doin'?!

[Chorus]
You've got me feeling emotions
Deeper than I've ever dreamed of
What's up Hawaii?
You've got me feeling emotions
Higher than the heavens above

[Verse 1]
I feel good
I feel nice
I've never felt so
Satisfied
I'm in love
I'm alive
Intoxicated
Flying high
It feels like a dream
When you touch me tenderly
I don't know if it's real
But I like the way I feel
Inside

[Chorus]
You've got me feeling emotions
Deeper than I've ever dreamed of
You, you... emotions
Higher than the heavens above

[Bridge]
You know the way to make me lose control
When you're looking into my eyes
You make me feel so
High

[Interlude]
Oh oh
Oh baby
Yeah yeah
Alright, alright
Ooh

[Chorus]
You've got me feeling emotions
Deeper than I've ever dreamed of
You, you... emotions
(Emotions, ooh)
Higher than the heavens above

[Chorus]
Higher emotions
Deeper than I've ever dreamed of
You've got me feeling emotions
Emotions, ooh

[Outro]
You've got me feeling higher

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actress, and philanthropist.

Under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, Carey released her self-titled debut studio album Mariah Carey in 1990; it went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993 and success with hit records “Emotions” (1991), “Music Box” (1993), and “Merry Christmas” (1994), Carey was established as Columbia’s highest-selling act. Daydream (1995) made music history when its second single “One Sweet Day”, a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest-running number-one song in U.S. chart history, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.” During the recording of the album, Carey began to deviate from her R&B and pop beginnings and slowly traversed into hip hop. This musical change became evident with the release of Butterfly (1997), at which time Carey had separated from Mottola.
