Lyrics
Verse 1
I was mindin' my own heart, takin' it slow,
Didn't see the spark comin', didn't even know.
Then you smiled my way like a radio tune,
And my lonely little night turned into June.
Every step I take, I hear your name,
and hearing your voice, drives me insane
Pre-Chorus
I tried to keep my feet on solid ground,
But my world started spinnin' 'round and 'round.
Chorus
Ohhh--when love finds me, it don't knock twice,
It wraps me up warm and it feels so right.
La-la-la, my heart beats time,
Every little dream fallin' into line.
Ohhh--when love finds me, I can't pretend,
I was lost till your arms let me in.
La-la-la, I finally see...
This is what love does to me.
Verse 2
I used to hum to myself late at night,
Wonderin' if love was real or just right.
Now your voice feels close even when you're gone,
Like a sweet harmony carryin' on.
Every promise feels easy and true,
Baby, every road leads back to you.
Pre-Chorus
I tried to play it cool, tried to take control,
But you walked right in and stole my soul.
Chorus
Ohhh--when love finds me, it don't knock twice,
It wraps me up warm and it feels so right.
La-la-la, my heart beats time,
Every little dream fallin' into line.
Ohhh--when love finds me, I can't pretend,
I was lost till your arms let me in.
La-la-la, I finally see...
This is what love does to me.
Bridge
Shoo-doo-wah, my heart sings your name,
Every kiss got me callin' again.
From the first hello to forevermore,
I ain't scared of love like I was before.
Final Chorus
Ohhh--when love finds me, I let it stay,
I don't look back, I don't walk away.
La-la-la, hear the whole world sigh,
Every star light up the sky.
Ohhh--when love finds me, I understand,
It's the sweetest thing life ever planned.
La-la-la, now I believe...
This is what love does to me.
Outro
Mmm-hmm...
Yeah, this is what love does to me.
