Lyrics[]
Well you dawned on me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks, see I've trying to get back
Before the cool dawn run out, I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothings going to stop me but to find intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Doodoo-oohh oh you besta believe I'm yours, yours and yours and yours
Open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love, love, love, love
Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing
We're just one big family, and
It's our God-forsaken right to be loved, love, loved, love, loved
So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate, our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
D-d-do, d-d-do dontchya dontchya dontchya
Don't you wanna come in
Scooch on over closer dear
And I will nibble your ear
Scoobe wooooooah Ohhhhhh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ohohohohoh mhhhmmmhh
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate, our time is short
This is our fate,
I'm yours!
