Looking Away by Melodie Yvonne

I can’t forget myself with you ‘cause there’s no telling what I’d do
I just can’t look you in the eye ‘cause it’s the drug that gets me high
I’m just here thinkin’ ‘bout your touch and how I crave it oh so much
I just can’t wait to see your face so I can look the other way

‘Cause, baby, if I catch your eye the sky’s the limit, I’m so high
I’m lost inside those pretty blues and suddenly it’s just us two
And, baby, it’s a long goodbye when you got me electrified
And I just think ‘bout all I’d do, so I just best not look at you

Darlin’ you just got me wanton with that sexy brain you’re flaunting
You’re a hooker in a red dress beggin’ me to take a taste test
Just the simple thought of you has got me ‘bout to come unglued
You’re the bane of my existence and I’m losin’ all resistance

Baby, if I catch your eye the sky’s the limit, I’m so high
I’m just thinkin’ ’bout those blues and suddenly it’s just us two
And now I’m all electrified, I’m ‘bout to burst and I can’t hide
That I just think ‘bout all I’d do, so I just best not look at you

I best not look right at your face, I better not get in your space
I gotta keep that three inch bubble, peep your peepers through the Hubble
Or I don’t know what I’d do ‘cause I just wanna melt with you
And fuse together our vibrations ‘til we make a revelation

Baby, if I catch your eye the sky’s the limit, I’m so high
I’m lost inside those pretty blues and suddenly it’s just us two
And, baby, it’s a long goodbye when you got me electrified
And I just think ‘bout all I’d do, so I just best not look at you
