Lovesick by Melodie Yvonne

Why do I gotta be so damned lovesick like this
Hopin’, prayin’, wishin’ all for just one kiss
Your face behind my eyes already just like this
Why do I gotta be so damned lovesick like this

How am I so nervous I can hardly breathe
How’d do you do that thing that makes my knees so weak
How is it your smile can make my heart skip beats
That gleam inside your eyes’ll be the end of me

Why do I gotta be so damned lovesick like this
Hopin’, prayin’, wishin’ all for just one kiss
Your face behind my eyes already just like this
Why do I gotta be so damned lovesick like this

Your aura’s straight and narrow and it soothes my soul
After you make my vibes go crazy though you’ll never know
Just gotta hold it all together shortly ‘til you go
Then back to dreamin’ ‘bout you when I’m all alone

Just maybe don’t get close and we can just be friends
Don’t worry ‘cause I pack a telephoto lens
It’s not my fault I’m scared to play this game again
It’s just that I can tell that you were born to win

Why do I gotta be so damned lovesick like this
Hopin’, prayin’, wishin’ all for just one kiss
Your face behind my eyes already just like this
Why do I gotta be so damned lovesick like this
