Butterflies
All you got to do
Is walk away and pass me by
Don't acknowledge my smile
When I try to say hello to you, yeah
And all you got to do
Is not answer my calls when I'm trying to get through
Keep me wondering why
When all I can do is sigh
I just wanna touch you
I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight (you give me)
'Cause you give me butterflies
Inside, inside and I
All I got to say
Is that I must be dreaming, can't be real
You're not here with me
Still, I can feel ya near to me
I caress you, let you taste us, just so blissful listen
I would give you anything, baby
Just make my dreams come true
Oh, baby, you give me butterflies
I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight (you give me)
'Cause you give me butterflies
Inside, inside and I
I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight (you give me)
'Cause you give me butterflies
Inside, Inside and I
If you would take my hand
Baby, I would show you
Guide you to the light, babe
If you would be my love
Baby, I will love you, love you
'Til the end of time
I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight (girl, you give me)
You give me butterflies
Inside, inside and I
I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight (inside)
You give me butterflies
Inside, inside and I
I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight
You give me butterflies
Inside, inside and I
I just wanna touch and kiss
And I wish that I could be with you tonight (you give me)
You give me butterflies
Inside, inside and I
