  • I don't know why I like it
    I just do

    Ooh-ooh, ooh

    I've been hearing your heartbeat inside of me
    I keep your photograph beside my bed
    Livin' in a world of fantasies
    I can't get you out of my head
    I've been waiting for the phone to ring all night
    Why you wanna make me feel so good
    I got a love of my own, baby
    I shouldn't get so hung up on you

    I remember the way that we touch
    I wish I didn't like it so much

    Oh, I get so emotional, baby
    Every time I think of you
    I get so emotional, baby
    Ain't it shocking what love can do
    Ain't it shocking what love can do
    Ain't it shocking what love can do

    I gotta watch you walk in the room, baby
    I gotta watch you walk out
    I like the animal way you move
    And when you talk
    I just watch your mouth

    Oh, I remember the way that we touch
    I wish I didn't like it so much

    Oh, I get so emotional, baby
    Every time I think of you
    I get so emotional, baby
    Ain't it shocking what love can do
    I get so emotional, baby
    Every time I think of you
    I get so emotional, baby
    Ain't it shocking what love can do
    Ain't it shocking what love can do
    Ain't it shocking what love can do

    See I remember the way that we touch
    I wish I didn't like it so much
    No no no, I get so emotional, baby
    Every time I think of you
    I get so emotional, baby
    Ain't it shocking what love can do
    I get so emotional, baby
    Every time I think of you
    I get so emotional, baby
    Ain't it shocking what love can do
    I get so emotional
    I get so emotional, baby
    Shocking what love can do
    I get so emotional, baby
    Every time I think of you
    I get so emotional, baby
    Ain't it shocking what love can do
    I get so emotional, baby
    Every time I think of you
    I get so emotional, baby Writer/s: Billy Steinberg, Tom Kelly

  • Bertrand from Paris, FranceHouston's '80s heyday produced several singles worthy of inclusion on best-of lists, but this one represents the best blend of danceable beats and an irrepressible chorus. Houston was and is a fine singer, but perhaps her best attribute was her ability to select top-notch material. This tune is a celebration of an '80s pluckiness we're not likely to see again, and it's so infectious that even a lot of rock fans were subject to its seduction.
