## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Don’t you know that you’re the one I want

Can’t you understand the way I feel

I feel electric rushes in my blood

Come on, it's plain for all the world to see

That you and me, we could be so picture perfect

You’re the only one I want

[Pre-Chorus]

I’ve been

Dreamin’ of it

Ridin’ in your car

Into the sunset

[Chorus]

I can’t get you out of my head

I just want you here in my bed

‘Cause I really need you near me

Can you hear me

Can you hear me, ahh

Baby, I will never regret

Those three, little words that I said

‘Cause I really need you near me

Can you hear me

Can you hear me, ahh

Ahh, ooh

‘Cause I really need you near me

Can you hear me

Can you hear me, ahh

[Verse 2]

You look at me like I’m one of your friends

We always say goodnight as soon as the party’s over

Wish it didn’t have to end (ever)

I’m really sorry, but I told the truth

Was it too much for you to handle

Wish that I could hide it, but I can’t pretend (no more)

[Pre-Chorus]

I’ve been

Dreamin’ of it

Ridin’ in your car

Into the sunset

[Chorus]

I can’t get you out of my head

I just want you here in my bed

‘Cause I really need you near me

Can you hear me

Can you hear me, ahh

Baby, I will never regret

Those three, little words that I said

‘Cause I really need you near me

Can you hear me

Can you hear me, ahh

Ahh, ooh

‘Cause I really need you near me

Can you hear me

Can you hear me, ahh

[Bridge: Spoken]

I’m lying in my bed

And I can’t get you off my mind

Can you hear me?

I’ve just got to tell you

[Chorus]

I can’t get you out of my head

I just want you here in my bed

‘Cause I really need you near me

Can you hear me

Can you hear me, uh

Baby, I will never regret

Those three, little words that I said

‘Cause I really need you near me

Can you hear me

Can you hear me

Oh-oh-whoa, oh-whoa

‘Cause I really need you near me

Can you hear me

Can you hear me, ahh

Oh-oh-whoa, oh-whoa

‘Cause I really need you near me

Can you hear me

Can you hear me, ahh

(Oh-oh-whoa, oh-whoa)

I can’t get you out of my head

I just want you here in my bed

‘Cause I really need you near me

Can you hear me

Can you hear me, ahh

(Oh-oh-whoa, oh-whoa)

Baby, I will never regret

Those three, little words that I said

‘Cause I really need you near me

Can you hear me

Can you hear me, ahh
