Since I Met You

I can’t argue with your voodoo 
it’s become so difficult to do;
Haunted by your face, 
your eyes make my heart race;
No, I haven’t slept since I met you; 

Hard to breathe when the Sun comes up
hiding the long night with makeup; 
Haunted by your face, 
your eyes make my heart race; 
Slowly sipping that coffee cup;

Living, chasing the next moment 
shocked by this electric current; 
Haunted by your face, 
your eyes make my heart race;
I’m no match for your fire so potent; 

Over and over I feel what you do,  
All I want is for you to continue; 
Haunted by your face, 
your eyes make my heart race; 
No, I haven’t slept since I met you.
