She Spoke 2 Me

Spoke 2 me I can't believe it but she spoke 2 me Close 2 me I never thought I'd get her close 2 me Now the moon and the sun belong 2 me All my wildest hopes were crazy dreams (They seem more like reality) Fantasy This girl fulfills my every fantasy She must be Specially designed by heaven just 4 me (Just for me) My friends look at her, they see mystery But I look at her and I see a masterpiece (Can it be? I mean, really, that she) Spoke 2 me (spoke 2 me) I can't believe it but she spoke 2 me (Speak 2 me baby) (Speak 2 me baby) Spoke 2 me I can't believe it but she spoke 2 me And if she hurts me [I/I'll] take it all with open arms u see (U think I won't?) Cause like the track under a subway train She could roll all over me and I'd still be the same Cause today is the day she spoke 2 me I can't believe it but she spoke 2 me Close 2 me I never thought I'd get her close 2 me If I'm stuck in some groovy wet dream Don't pinch me (I don't wanna wake up) I'm diggin' the scene (dig it dig it) Yeah, baby © 1996 Controversy Music - ASCAP
