[Verse 1: Alex Band]

Since the moment I spotted you

Like walking 'round with little wings on my shoes

My stomach's filled with the butterflies

Ooh, and it's alright

Bouncing 'round from cloud to cloud

I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down

If I said I didn't like it, then you know I'd lied, ooh


[Pre-Chorus: Alex Band]

But every time I try to talk to you

I get tongue-tied

Turns out everything I say to you

Comes out wrong and never comes out right


[Chorus: Alex Band]

So I'll say, "Why don't you and I get together

And take on the world and be together forever?

Heads we will, and tails we'll try again"

So I say, "Why don't you and I hold each other

And fly to the moon and straight on to heaven?

'Cause without you, they're never gonna let me in"


[Verse 2: Alex Band]

When's this fever gonna break?

I think I've handled more than any man can take

I'm like a love-sick puppy chasing you around

Ooh, and it's alright

Bouncing 'round from cloud to cloud

I got the feeling like I'm never gonna come down

If said I didn't like it, then you know I'd lied, ooh


[Pre-Chorus: Alex Band]

Every time I try to talk to you

I get tongue-tied

Turns out everything I say to you

Comes out wrong and never comes out right


[Chorus: Alex Band]

So I'll say, "Why don't you and I get together

And take on the world and be together forever?

Heads we will, and tails we'll try again"

So I say, "Why don't you and I hold each other

And fly to the moon and straight on to heaven?

'Cause without you, they're never gonna let me in"


[Bridge: Alex Band]

Slowly, I begin to realize, this is never gonna end

Right about the same time you walk by

And I say, "Oh, here we go again, oh"


[Pre-Chorus: Alex Band]

Every time I try to talk to you

I get tongue-tied

Turns out everything I say to you

Comes out wrong and never comes out right


[Chorus: Alex Band]

So I'll say, "Why don't you and I get together

And take on the world and be together forever?

Heads we will, and tails we'll try again"

So I say, "Why don't you and I hold each other

And fly to the moon and straight on to heaven?

'Cause without you, they're never gonna let me in"

So I'll say, "Why don't you and I get together

And take on the world and be together forever?

Heads we will, and tails we'll try again"

So I say, "Why don't you and I hold each other

And fly to the moon and straight on to heaven?

'Cause without you, they're never gonna let me in"
