Everything is falling around me
Everybody is calling, there is trouble
Everywhere I go I only see
Everything that makes my blood bubble
I must be in love
I have found someone who is special
I have found the road I seek
I have found a crime that I’ll prosper
In a way not solemn or meek.
I must be in love
I saw you trying to steal my heart
I mocked you that you won’t succeed
Yet you didn’t hide, you were so bold
You captured me with words untold
I must be in love
This must be a tale to tell in time
This must be an illusion I’m trapped
For just this tiny time of loneliness
When all I can think of is your tenderness
I must be in love
I must be a fool
Swimming in a deluded pool
Of a typhoon of hormones
That clouds my judgment
I must be in love
I must be in love
I must say it to myself
I must be in love
I must be in love
Isn’t this how it feels
To be in love
And to be loved.
