- Cabaret candlelight
- You walk in as I am speaking your name
- Moving over to where I stand

- But when I saw you walkin' in, I was taken once more
- I don't know what for, it's just an
- (Chorus)
- Emotional Response
- Can't fight it, can't hide an emotional response
- I'm walkin' the line - every time
- And you don't have to be
- Anything more to me
- I just want to see you once in a while
- I'm not looking to follow you

- I don't even know why it's such an
- (Repeat Chorus)
- And my heart beats fast, and I don't know why
- And I tell myself I can take it all in stride
- I don't know if I can, I want control
- I don't understand this emotional
- (Chorus)
