And  every time I get to thinking,
With  every thought  of you, I wanna shout  aloud.
And  then I think  about the love  I had inside  me,
And  how you brought  what’s inside out.
So,  now love’s made  it to the outside,
I  wanna to tell the world  of everything  I’ve found.
Somehow  your love  released a spring  wound up inside  me,
You’ve  turned my living  upside-down.
 And I can’t  tell the bottom  from the top,
 Am I standing  on my head  or on my heels?
 Is it cloudy,  is it bright?  Is it day,  or is it night?
 Am I wrong,  or am I right?  And is it real?
 Tell me where you learned the magic,
 The spell you used the day you made me fall.
 Baby, now I know that love is no illusion,
 I’m upside-down but ten feet tall.
On  and on, I drifted with  the tide,
I  didn’t know  that love could move  me so.
 You fill my life with love and much more  besides,
And  you showed  me which way to go.
