I understand, You gave me loving in the palm of my hand I can't tell you how I feel My heart is like a wheel Let me roll it Let me roll it to you Let me roll it Let me toll it to you I want to tell you And now's the time I want to tell you that You're going to be mine I can't tell you how I feel My heart is like a wheel. Let me roll it Let me roll it to you Let me roll it Let me roll it to you
