Mesmerized since the day I saw you
Maybe somewhere I've misplaced my pride
In trying to prove I'm on your side
We're two of the many walking wounded
And all I want is to try to be the cure
So we'll never feel loneliness anymore

I wanna be declared your one and only
Hear you say that I'm your destiny
And I want you to be more than a mystery to me

Am I making you feel uneasy
Do you recognize the movie that we're in
Every game you swore you'd never play you win
Do you want to know the truth about you
Do you even hear the voices in your head
Can't you see I'm hanging there by a thread

I wanna feel your gentle arms around me
Wanna know the sweet taste of your kiss
Wanna hear you whisper
"baby, nothing's better than this"
I wanna be declared your one and only
Hear you say that I'm your destiny
And I want you to be more than a mystery to me

The more I reach out to you
The harder you are to find
How could I be so drawn to something so unkind

Do I make you feel uneasy
Am I saying any words you want to hear
Love isn't really love without fear

Chorus

Richard Marx
