I saw you the very first time
Built so pretty
You looked just right
It was love at first sight
I looked real close
I touched your arm
My heart went off like a fire alarm
I was amplified
Something happens
When I hold you in my hands
I'm a different man
Something happens
And I lose all sense of time
I can almost fly
Everytime I go to pick you up
I feel a little spark in my fingertips
I'm electrified
The magic touch
You feel so good
The way you respond to everything I do
I'm magnetized
Something happens
When I hold you in my hands
I'm a different man
Something happens
And I lose all sense of time
I can almost fly
I love your back, I love your head
But I love it best
When I run
My fingers down your neck

I saw you the very first time

Built so pretty

You looked just right

It was love at first sight

I looked real close

I touched your arm

My heart went off like a fire alarm

I was amplified

Something happens

When I hold you in my hands

I'm a different man

Something happens

And I lose all sense of time

I can almost fly

Everytime I go to pick you up

I feel a little spark in my fingertips

I'm electrified

The magic touch

You feel so good

The way you respond to everything I do

I'm magnetized

Something happens

When I hold you in my hands

I'm a different man

Something happens

And I lose all sense of time

I can almost fly

I love your back, I love your head

But I love it best

When I run

My fingers down your neck
