Emotional Tangle
Olivia Newton-John · Other Songs - Olivia Newton-John
Yu knew me
I felt you melt into me
Wrap around my heart
And shake me inside
One simple conversation
Such gentle communication
Love found a way in
And to my surprise
From the emotional angle
We're in an emotional tangle
And if you feel like I'm feeling
It's love from this angle
This tangle can never be tight enough
Till now it was easy stalling
Feeling but never falling
I'd always stop before it could start
Love brought our lives together
With a magic that lasts forever
And nothing on earth can tear us apart
From the emotional angle
We're in an emotional tangle
And if you feel like I'm feeling
It's love from this angle
This tangle can never be tight enough
I just can't get enough
No taking away my appetite
Spin me inside tighter and tighter
to you
From the emotional angle
We're in an emotional tangle
And if you feel like I'm feeling
It's love from this angle
This tangle can never be tight enough
