Lyrics

Contagious

When you're not here I don't know what to do
I do not think that I can wait
To go over and to talk to you
I do not know what I should say
And I walk out in silence
That's when I start to realize
What you bring to my life
Damn, this guy can make me cry
It's so contagious
I cannot get it out of my mind
It's so outrageous
You make me feel so high
All the time
They all say that you're no good for me
But I'm too close to turn around
I'll show them they don't know anything
I think I've got you figured out
So I walk out in silence
That's when I start to realize
What you bring to my life
Damn, this guy can make me smile
It's so contagious
I cannot get it out of my mind
It's so outrageous
You make me feel so high
I'll give you everything
I'll treat you right
If you just give me a chance
I can prove I'm right
It's so contagious
I cannot get it out of my mind
It's so outrageous
You make me feel so high
It's so contagious
I cannot get it out of my mind
It's so outrageous
You make me feel so high
All the time
