[Verse 1]
Well, I'm not much on mystery
Yeah, you got to be careful what you dream
I thought this might pass with time
Yeah, I thought I was satisfied
[Chorus]
But oh honey, let me tell you, I got a thing about you
Baby, let me tell you, I got a thing about you
It don't matter what you say, don't matter what you do
I got a thing about you, I got a thing about you
[Verse 2]
Somewhere deep in the middle of the night
Lovers hold each other tight
Whisper in their anxious ears
Words of love that disappear
[Chorus]
But oh honey, let me tell you, I got a thing about you
Baby, let me tell you, I got a thing about you
It don't matter what you say, don't matter what you do
I got a thing about you, I got a thing about you
[Bridge]
Baby, you hold some strange control over me
Yeah, it's so wild, it hypnotizes me
[Chorus]
But oh honey, let me tell you, I got a thing about you
Baby, let me tell you, I got a thing about you
It don't matter what you say, don't matter what you do
I got a thing about you, I got a thing about you
Well, I'm not much on mystery
Yeah, you got to be careful what you dream
I thought this might pass with time
Yeah, I thought I was satisfied
[Chorus]
But oh honey, let me tell you, I got a thing about you
Baby, let me tell you, I got a thing about you
It don't matter what you say, don't matter what you do
I got a thing about you, I got a thing about you
[Verse 2]
Somewhere deep in the middle of the night
Lovers hold each other tight
Whisper in their anxious ears
Words of love that disappear
[Chorus]
But oh honey, let me tell you, I got a thing about you
Baby, let me tell you, I got a thing about you
It don't matter what you say, don't matter what you do
I got a thing about you, I got a thing about you
[Bridge]
Baby, you hold some strange control over me
Yeah, it's so wild, it hypnotizes me
[Chorus]
But oh honey, let me tell you, I got a thing about you
Baby, let me tell you, I got a thing about you
It don't matter what you say, don't matter what you do
I got a thing about you, I got a thing about you
