Lyrics
You just keep tuggin', pushin', pullin' On my little heartstrings Got me all tied up in knots Anytime I see your face Oh, it brings out It brings out the girl in me

Don't know just how you did it But you got me real good Hook, line, and sinker like I knew you could But you don't even notice Boy, I wish you would

I can't help myself I can't help but smile Everytime I see your face And we've never met I bet you don't know my name Am I out of my mind? I think that I might be going crazy

'Cause my heart is yours to have and hold or break How'd you get to be so close, when you're so far away?

I think he might be close to perfect Girls, you know what I mean He's got a face straight out Of a magazine Gotta pinch myself To prove he ain't a dream Oh, oh, oh

I can't help myself Now my secret's out I can't help but smile

Everytime I see your face And we've never met I bet you don't know my name Am I out of my mind? I think that I might be going crazy 'Cause my heart is yours to have and hold or break How'd you get to be so close, when you're so far away?

I wish you were mine, all mine Mine, all mine I wish you were mine, all mine I wish you were mine

I can't help but smile Everytime I see your face And we've never met I bet you don't know my name Am I out of my mind? I think that I might be going crazy 'Cause my heart is yours to have and hold or break How'd you get to be so close, when you're so far away? How'd you get to be so close when you're so far away?
