I’ve had my share of one night stands
And I’ve seen it all
But you’ve got a hold on me
Right against the wall
Over the edge
You’ve got me
Over the edge
Head over heels
Over the edge
Over the edge
I never thought I’d see the day
When I would want you there
But nobody ever made me feel
The way when you call
Over the edge
You’ve got me
Over the edge
Head over heels
Over the edge
Over the edge
Over the edge
You’ve got me
Over the edge
Head over heels
Over the edge
Over the edge
I’m over the edge
I’m over the edge
Over the edge
