You breathe, I breathe you in
I like a lot where you’ve been
I make you break the rules
You got me rocking the blues
Give a little bit, get a little bit, take it for a ride, yeah
When you push love so far away, it eats you up inside
There’s a girl living under my skin (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
There’s this girl and she’s wearing me thin (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I think she’s the reason
That it’s open broken-hearted season
There’s a girl, there’s a girl
I know you know you are
You are the ooh in la la
Blow a little kiss, get a little bit, get a little high, yeah, yeah
And I can’t get you out of me ’cause you’re too deep inside
There’s a girl living under my skin (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
There’s this girl and she’s wearing me thin (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I think she’s the reason
That it’s open broken-hearted season
You could spend your whole life trying
You could never be more mine
There’s a girl, there’s a girl
There’s a girl, there’s a girl
Get a little bit, get a little bit, get little high, yeah
When you push love so far away, it eats you up inside
There’s a girl living under my skin (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
There’s this girl and she’s wearing me thin (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I think she’s the reason
That it’s open broken-hearted season (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
There’s a girl, there’s a girl (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
There’s a girl, there’s a girl (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
And I think she’s the reason
That it’s open broken-hearted season
There’s a girl, there’s a girl (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
There’s a girl, there’s a girl (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
There’s a girl, there’s a girl (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
There’s a girl, there’s a girl (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
There’s a girl, there’s a girl
