Lyrics

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

[Verse 1]
Girl, I swear you got me acting crazy
Half the time I dont know what my name is
I’m the kind that like to take it slow and lazy
Girl, you got me running hot and hazy

[Chorus]
Oh, I love you like I never
Oh, I love you like I never
Oh, I love you like I never loved before

[Verse 2]
Boy, you got me burning like a rocket
You stole my heart and stuck it in your pocket
Now I got your face inside my locket
I really tried but I don’t think I can stop it, baby

[Chorus]
Oh, I love you like I never
Oh, I love you like I never
Oh, I love you like I never loved before

[Verse 3]
You sat beside me last night on the sofa
I took your hand and pulled you a little closer
You kissed my lips and then you let me hold you
That feels the way that love’s suppose to, baby

[Chorus]
Oh, I love you like I never
Oh, I love you like I never
Oh, I love you like I never loved before

[Verse 4]
You held the door when we went to the movies
I like your quirky sneaky sense of humor
You’re strong and sweet in all the things I needed
You’re the one that keeps my heart a beating, baby
