don't stand too close cause i'm on fire
and i could still get burned tonight
i'm walking round wound up and wired
cause i'm in love at second sight

you turned my head and you turned me around
and i'm walking on air with my ear to the ground
and my heart just broke the speed of sound
don't let me down
don't let me down
don't let me down

i can't believe that you can't see
the way i always look at you
i thought i saw you smile at me
so if you want me say you do

you turned my head and you turned me around
and i'm walking on air with my ear to the ground
and i don't feel too tightly wound
don't let me down
don't let me down
don't let me down

  can't eat can't sleep can't think can't work
  you make my heart beat, you make my head hurt
  can't walk can't talk can't dance can't sing
  can't tell if we're both in this thing

don't let me down
don't let me down
don't let me down

  don't look don't leap don't think don't touch
  i want you tonight, i want you too much
  don't stop don't go don't leave don't lie
  just say you will or say goodbye

don't let me down
don't let me down
don't let me down
