  • There you stood, that'll teach ya
    To look so good and feel so right
    Let me tell you 'bout the girl I met last night
    It's understood, I had to reach ya
    I let the wheel of fortune spin
    I touched your hand before the crowd
    Started crushin' in
    Now I'm higher than a kite
    I know I'm gettin' hooked on your love
    Talkin' to myself, runnin' in the heat
    Beggin' for your touch in the middle
    Of the street and I --

    I can't stop thinking 'bout you girl
    I must be living in a fantasy world
    I've searched the whole world over
    To find a heart so true
    Such complete intoxication
    I'm high on you

    Smart and coy, a little crazy
    The kinda face that starts a fight
    Let me tell you 'bout the girl I had last night
    Piercin' eyes, like a raven
    You seemed to share my secret sin
    We were high before the night
    Started kickin' in
    Now I'm screamin' in the night
    I know I'm gettin' hooked on your love
    Talkin' to myself, runnin' in the heat
    Beggin' for your touch in the middle
    Of the street and I --

    I can't stop thinking 'bout you girl
    I must be living in a fantasy world
    I've searched the whole world over
    To find a heart so true
    Such complete intoxication
    I'm high on you Writer/s: FRANK SULLIVAN, JIM PETERIK

  • AnonymousWas this the theme song to a sit com?
  • Patrick Longworth from Okanagan Falls, British Columbia, CanadaI love that anecdote though "High on You" is among my least favourite of the songs, hits, music, videos and lyrics of Survivor.
  • David Levack from MichiganAnyone notice the synth intro is reminiscent of the four seasons "who loves you"?
  • Rae from NjGreat song!
  • Dave from Wheaton, IlI wonder if Dave Bickler sings this song in concert, now that Jim Jamison's dead.
  • Gino from HoustonHo hum........ I wrote a good part of this song. Not to say too much about the song, but you could say liking a girl for the wrong reasons and infatuation.
  • Mike from Hueytown , AlNo the narrator is HIGH on a woman's love. Not every song in history is about drug use. Shocking I know haha
  • Joe from Bellingham, Wadunno? i never heard it. eye of the tiger is better.
