Lyrics
Wander down these streets all by myself Think of my future now, I just don't know Well, I don't seem to care I do notice that I'm by your home I wonder if you're sitting all alone Or is your boyfriend there? Because I feel so right Let my imagination go Until you're in my sights And through my veins, temptation flows Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh yeah So I sit down here on the hard concrete Think of my future now, I just don't know Well I don't seem to care I stop to notice that I'm by your home I wonder if you're sitting all alone Or is your boyfriend there? Because I feel so right Let my imagination go Until you're in my sights And through my veins, temptation flows Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh yeah, oh-oh-oh Because I feel so right Let my imagination go Until you're in my sights And through my veins, temptation flows Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh yeah Whoa-oh-oh, oh yeah
