If I'm being honest, caller I.D. freaks me out.
I'd rather know that it's you by your hello.
Our hearts are known for beating a little too loud.
Don't you ever want it all?
Take your shot if you mean it and it might not just be a feeling.
I don't know what you're thinking. I just call it like I see it and girl, we got it goin' on.
As long as you're alright, everything's alright with me.
I've never been one to worry about tomorrow.
It's just information. Everyone sends and receives.
So why do we keep on counting.
Take your shot if you mean it and it might not just be a feeling.
I don't know what you're thinking. I just call it like I see it and girl, we got it goin' on.
Don't you think it's funny how we wander in and wander out of everything and everyone we meet.
But, that's the way it goes. I guess we're just a couple ghosts to several-hundred people, you and me.
If only I were calm & normal.
Take your shot if you mean it and it might not just be a feeling.
I don't know what you're thinking. I just call it like I see it and girl, we got it goin' on.
