You get me going like a wind up toy
So pay attention to a broken boy
You got me going
Well I cannot stop it and if you keep me going
Gonna see me pop
I'm in love with what you do
The way that I'm attached with you
Self fulfilled and to a smile
The list could go for miles
(All the perfect things you do)
I know what you're thinking when you cry
(When you cry)
I know what you're thinking when you smile
(When you smile)
I know that you're just a little child
I know you know
(All the perfect things you do)
You've got me going like a grade school crush
My head is spinning and my face is flushed
You've got me going like a fast paced heart
And if you keep me going, gonna fall apart
I could write a thousand words
Useless nouns and needless verbs
I could shout a million times
Until the neighbors hear my cries
(All the perfect things you do)
I know what you're thinking when you cry
(When you cry)
I know what you're thinking when you smile
(When you smile)
I know that you're just a little child
I know you know
(All the perfect things you do)
You make me melt
I know what you're thinking when you cry
(When you cry)
I know what you're thinking when you smile
(When you smile)
I know that you're just a little child
I know you know
