Producer: Narada Michael Walden for Perfection Light Productions

Lyrics

I’ve been hearing your heartbeat inside of me
I keepp your photo right beside my bed
Livin’ in a world of fanticies
I can’t get you out of my head

I’ve been waiting for the phone to ring all night
Why you want to make me feel so good
I got a love of my own
Shouldn’t get so hung up on you

I remember the way that we touched I wish I didn’t like it so much
I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
Ain’t it shocking what love can do
Ain’t it shocking what love can do

I gotta watch you walk in the room, baby
I gotta watch you walk out
I like the animal way you move
And when you talk I just watch your mouth

I remember the way that we touched I wish I didn’t like it so much
I get so emotional, baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional, baby
Ain’t it shocking what love can do
Ain’t it shocking what love can do
