Chorus:
Do you know, you put me under
I start to wonder, how do you know?
How I feel when you're around me
I can't control it, how do you know?

Verse One:
Many a day goes by
When I'm just sitting around
Letting the time go by
There's nothing else to do, oh no
At least not till I found you

Repeat Chorus

Verse Two:
It feels so good to let you know
How I'm feeling
But you seem to know these things
You make my heart sing
Everytime you walk into the room

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Can you really see
Baby what you do to me
How I'm feeling I just can't control it
Do you really know
How I'm feeling, does it show
Boy you know you really put me under

Repeat Chorus to fade
