You Send Me
Lyrics:
[English]
Darling, you send me
I know you send me
Darling, you send me
Honest, you do, honest you do
Honest, you do, whoa
You thrill me
I know you, you, you thrill me
Darling, you, you, you, you thrill me
Honest, you do (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
At first, I thought it was infatuation
But ooh, it's lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you and take you home, whoa
You, you, you, you send me
I know you send me
I know you send me
Honest you do
...
(You send me) whoa, whenever I'm with you
(You send me) I know, I know, I know when I'm near you
(You send me) mmm hmm, mmm hmm, honest you do, honest you do
Whoa, I know
(You thrill me) I know, I know, I know, when you hold me
(You thrill me) whoa, whenever you kiss me
(You thrill me) mmm hmm, mmm hmm, honest you do
...
At first, I thought it was infatuation
But ooh, it's lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting
To marry you and take you home
I know, I know, I know, you, you, you send me
I know you send me
Whoa, you, you, you, you send me
Honest, you do (doo, doo, doo, doo, ooh)
...
