Lyrics
Tell me I'm only dreaming and I'll believe you Can't see how this could be true Surrounded by feelings
I hardly recognise I look for explanations I'm taken by surprise If you told me yesterday that I could feel this way I
would sure enough call you a liar to your face
Because I'm shocked by the power (Shocked) ooh Shocked by the
power of love I was rocked to my very foundations Shocked by the power, shocked by the power
Maybe this time
tomorrow I'll discover this ain't really real 'Cos it struck me like lightning Like a bolt out of the blue Emotions
inside me, all over you I'm high above the Universe, losing track of time And falling free I can't believe that you
are really mine
RAP: Shocked, like the lightning from up above Down from the heavens and it gave me love From
a man who respects me Loves my mind as well as my body No retreat and no surrender Equal to you regardless of gender Giving
me love that is warm and tender That's why I gotta tell ya
You and I are of the same mind It seems to me that
we're one of a kind It's true to say that when love is blind But then true love is so hard to find You respect me
and the things I do It was meant to be I was made for you Open the door to my heart, it's stopped And I'm shocked....
Surrounded
by feelings I hardly recognise, I look for explanations I'm taken by surprise. 'Cos it struck me like lightning, Like
a bolt out of the blue, Emotions inside me, all over you.
