PAT BENATAR - THE EFFECT YOU HAVE ON ME lyrics

rate me

There are people who have no trouble

In expressing what they feel

For me it's never been that bad

It's just the way I've always been

I often try to tell my friends

‘Bout the effect you have on me

I don't know why

I can't explain

When you are near

My heart is weak

It spins around my head and then

Recalls your fingers down my spine

It goes away, comes back again

Makes me cry, it makes me shy

You have in your hands, my light of love

And in your eyes, all that I've missed

What more could I expect from life

Than your loving and tender kiss

And they can talk about paradise

And all the dreams that are to be

I laugh and doubt it could compare

To the effect you have on me

There are no words, no reasons why

The tears that sometimes fill my eyes

They're only tears of happiness

It's only fear of losing you

I often try to tell my friends

‘bout this effect you have on me

I don't know why

I can't explain

When you are near my heart is weak

It spins around my head and then

Recalls your fingers down my spine

It goes away, comes back again

Makes me cry, it makes me shy

Only your voice can bring me peace

Only your touch can bring me joy

What more should I expect from this life

When so many people

Still search for love

I know I never will explain

This effect you have on me

But if I have on you the same

We'll be in love

Eternally
