Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest
nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention²
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
But I won't hesitate no more no more
It cannot wait I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment people, dance and sing
We're just one big family(A la peaceful melody)
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved
So I won't hesitate no more no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate³ our time is short
This is our fate I'm yours
Dd-do do you, but do you, dd-do
But do you want to come on
Scooch on over closer dear
And I will nibble⁴ your ear
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards⁵ just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do our name is our virtue⁶
But I won't hesitate no more no more
It cannot wait I'm yours
Open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
So please don't, please don't, please don't
There's no need to complicate
Cause our time is short
This is, this is, this is our fate
I'm yours
