I got my eyes on you
You’re everything that I see
I want your hot love and emotion, endlessly
I can’t get over you
You put your mark on me
I want your high love and emotion, endlessly
Cause you’re a good girl and you know it
You act so different around me
Cause you’re a good girl and you know it
I know exactly who you could be
Just hold on we’re going home
Just hold on we’re going home
It’s hard to do these things alone
Just hold on we’re going home
Yeah
I got my eyes on you
You’re everything that I see
I want your hot love and emotion, endlessly
I can’t get over you
You left your mark on me
I want your high love and emotion, endlessly
Cause you’re a good girl and you know it
You act so different around me
Cause you’re a good girl and you know it
I know exactly who you could be
So just hold on we’re going home
Just hold on we’re going home
It’s hard to do these things alone
Just hold on we’re going home
You’re the girl
You’re the one
Gave you everything I love
You think that’s something baby
You think that’s something baby
You’re the girl
You’re the one
Gave you everything I love
You think that’s something baby
You think that’s something baby
So just hold on we’re going home
Just hold on we’re going home
It’s hard to do these things alone
Just hold on we’re going home
Yeah
Just hold on we’re going home
Just hold on we’re going home
So just hold on we’re going home
Just hold on we’re going home
