Yes - Merry Clayton
Dirty Dancing · Original Soundtrack
I just can't hear a sound
'Cept my own wheels turnin
Wastin a day
I'm just runnin away
From a heart that's burnin
But I can't run forever
CHORUS:
Yes
We're gonna fall in love
And it feels so right
Yes
We're gonna make love
It's gonna be tonight
I can just imagine
Huggin and teasin and
Lovin and squeezin all night
I've made up my mind
He's gonna be mine
I'm so glad I waited
Why did I try
To figure out why
Everything can't be anticipated
I can't wait to tell him
CHORUS
Yes - Merry Clayton
