So You Can Feel My Love (2012)


In my imagination...I saw us making love ,even though we hadn't yet met...check it out-

/You caught my eye
from across the room....
girl I'm not shy...
though I know I could be signaling my doom..
I can't help it..
you're just so fly.../

/I've been burned before..
at times just like this...
a chance meeting on the dance floor...
but this is a meeting I feel I can't
miss.../

/They are playing a nice slow tune...
so come closer...
there is only so much room..../

/I want you to put your head on
my shoulder...
baby don't be scared..
just come closer...
I want to blend with your body
like a hand in a glove....
so you can feel my love..../

/After this dance, can I walk you
home?
A pretty girl like you shouldn't be
walking home alone...
perhaps I can call you sometimes...
can I have your number, here is mines...
I haven't felt this sure about anyone
in such a long time..../


/ Listen, I 've been hurt before
and you probably have too....
but take a chance that you won't
be hurt anymore...
I've got such a sweet deal for you.../
but take a chance that you won't
be hurt anymore...
I've got such a sweet deal for you.../

/ Tonight ,just hold me tight....
girl put your pretty head on my shoulder...
turn off the lights...
listen to the music...
and like Smokey would say-
baby just come closer...
I want to get into you....
like a hand fits into a glove....
ouuu....
so you can feel my love.....

so you can feel my love...../

/ Tonight ,just hold me tight....
girl put your pretty head on my shoulder...
turn off the lights...
listen to the music...
and like Smokey would say-
baby just come closer...
I want to get into you....
like a hand fits into a glove....
ouuu....
so you can feel my love.....



so you can feel my love...../
