I hung up the phone tonight Something happened for the first time Deep inside it was a rush, what a rush 'Cause the possibility That you would ever feel the same way About me, just too much, just too much Why do I keep running from the truth' All I ever think about is you You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized And I just got to know Do you ever think when you're all alone All that we can be, where this thing can go' Am I crazy or falling in love' Is it really just another crush' Do you catch a breath when I look at you' Are you holding back like the way I do' 'Cause I've tried and tried to walk away But I know this crush ain't going away-ay-ay Going away-ay-ay Has it ever crossed your mind When we're hanging, spending time girl' Are we just friends' Is there more' Is there more' See it's a chance we've gotta take 'Cause I believe that we can make this into Something that will last, last forever, forever! Do you ever think when you're all alone All that we could be, where this thing could go' Am I crazy or falling in love' Is it really just another crush' Do you catch a breath when I look at you' Are you holding back like the way I do' 'Cause I've tried and tried to walk away But I know this crush ain't going away-ay-ay Going away-ay-ay Why do I keep running from the truth' All I ever think about is you You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized And I just got to know Do you ever think when you're all alone All that we could be, where this thing could go' Am I crazy or falling in love' Is it really just another crush' Do you catch a breath when I look at you' Are you holding back like the way I do' 'Cause I've tried and tried to walk away But I know this crush ain't going away-ay-ay This crush ain't going away-ay-ay Going away Going away-ay-ay Going away-ay-ay
