Hypnotizes me
Sets my soul at ease
Every time you're near me

Never felt like this before
I don't wanna lose it
Give me all your love
(More and more and more - oooh)Something that you do
Mesmerizes me
Sets my body free
Every time you touch me

Never felt so sweet before

Oh baby

It captivates my mind
And it lifts me to the sky
