Lyric
I got a funny feelin’The moment that your lips touched mineSomethin’ shot right through meMy heart skipped a beat in timeThere’s a different feel about you tonightIt’s got me thinkin’ lots of crazy thingsI even think I saw a flash of lightIt felt like electricityYou shouldn’t kiss me like this, unless you mean it like that‘Cause I’ll just close my eyes and I won’t know where I’m atWe’ll get lost on this dance floor, spinnin’ aroundAnd around and around and aroundThey’re all watching us now, they think we’re fallin’ in loveThey’d never believe we’re just friendsWhen you kiss me like this, I think you mean it like thatIf you do, baby, kiss me againEverybody swears we make the perfect pairBut dancing is as far as it goesGirl, you’ve never moved meQuite the way you moved me tonightI just wanted you to knowI just wanted you to knowYou shouldn’t kiss me like this, unless you mean it like that‘Cause I’ll just close my eyes and I won’t know where I’m atAnd we’ll get lost on this dance floor, spinning aroundAnd around and around and aroundThey’re all watching us now, they think we’re fallin’ in loveThey’d never believe we’re just friendsWhen you kiss me like this, I think you mean it like thatIf you do, baby, kiss me againKiss me again
