Lyrics 

You walked in

Caught my attention

I've never seen

A man with so much dimension

It's the way you walk

The way you talk

The way you make me feel inside

It's in your smile

It's in your eyes

I don't wanna wait for tonight

So I'm daydreamin'

With my chin in the palm of my hands

About you

You

And only you

Got me

Daydreaming, with my chin in the palm of my hands

About you

You

And only you

For you oh oh oh

For you oh oh oh

For you oh oh oh

For you oh oh

Now I can't wait

To hold you in my arms

I know I was made for you

I'm in love with all your charm

It's the way you walk

The way you talk

The way you make me feel inside

It's in your smile

It's in your eyes

I don't wanna wait for tonight

So I'm daydreamin'

With my chin in the palm of my hands

About you

You

And only you

Got me

Daydreaming, with my chin in the palm of my hands

About you

You

And only you

But I want you

Got to have you

And I need you

Like I never have loved you before

Oh I want you

Ooh I need you

Got to have you

Like I never have loved you before

So I'm daydreamin'

With my chin in the palm of my hands

About you

You

And only you

Got me

Daydreaming, with my chin in the palm of my hands

About you

You

And only you

For you oh oh oh

For you oh oh oh

For you oh oh oh

For you oh oh
