When you're near me
When you're near me, my baby
My baby
It always drives me crazy
It always drives me crazy
 
When you're near me, my darling
When you're near me
My darling
It burns me up inside
It burns me up inside


When you're near me
When you're near me, my baby
My baby
It always drives me crazy
It always drives me crazy
 
When you're near me, my baby
When you're near me
My baby
It burns me up inside
It burns me up inside
