Right Where I Want You
Alan Jackson · Good Time [2008]
The wall around my heart so it won't have to break
But you take me some place that I've never been
Now I don't know if I'll find my way back again.
Chorus:
'Cause you've got me right where I want you
And there's not a thing I can do
Completely consumed, all about you
You've got me right where I want you.
I close my eyes you're lookin' at me
You wake me at night walkin' 'round in my dreams
The wind blows the smell of roses in bloom
And all I can think of is last night's perfume.
Chorus:
'Cause you've got me right where I want you
And there's not a thing I can do
Completely consumed, all about you
You've got me right where I want you.
And I've never thought that I would get caught
But here I am wrapped up in you.
Chorus:
'Cause you've got me right where I want you
And there's not a thing I can do
Completely consumed, all about you
You've got me right where
You've got me right where
You've got me right where I want you...
