♪ And I don’t want to want you ♪

♪ But in my dreams I seem to be more honest ♪

♪ And I must admit, you’ve been in quite a few ♪

♪ Halley’s Comet ♪

♪ Comes around more then I do ♪

♪ But you’re all it takes for me to break a promise ♪

♪ Silly me to fall in love with you ♪

♪ I haven’t slept since Sunday ♪

♪ Midnight for me it’s 3:00 a.m. for you ♪

♪ But my sleepless nights are better ♪

♪ With you than nights could ever be alone ♪

♪ Ohh-ohh-ohh ♪

♪ I was good at feeling nothing, now I’m hopeless ♪

♪ What a drag to love you like I do ♪

♪♪♪

♪ I’ve been loved before but right now in this moment ♪

♪ I feel more and more like I was made for you ♪

♪♪♪

♪ Like I was made for you ♪
