Something's got a hold on me
Yeah must be love
Whoah something's got a hold on me right now
Yeah must be love

Well I got a feeling and I feel so strange
and everything about me seems to have changed
Step by step I gotta find me a walk
I even sound different when I talk

I said oh (oh) oh (oh) oh (oh) wow
Something's got a hold on me
and it must be love

Well I never felt this way before
Something's got a hold on me and won't let go
Believe I'd fly just a whole day for you
It sounds so strange but it feels so good

I said oh (oh) oh (oh) oh (oh) wow
Something's got a hold on me
and it must be love

Well now my heart feels heavy and my feet feel light
I shake all over but I feel all right
I never thought this could happen to me
Well I'm in heaven when I'm in misery
Well I never thought this could be this way
Well I know baby that this is the day
Well I never thought it could be this way
But now you're gone It's been a-hurtin' on me

I said oh (oh) oh (oh) oh (oh) -ac
