## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Verse 1]

It's the things that you do

(So physical)

It's the things that you say

(So flammable)

You know I can't resist, boy, it's such a shame

Do you belong to another?

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't wanna hurt nobody

But my heart just can't hold back

[Chorus]

It's the way you make me feel

(The way that you make me feel)

Spinning my world around

Tell me how can I walk away

I don't care what they say

I'm loving you anyway

It's the way you make me feel

[Verse 2]

I'm gonna make you mine

(It's not impossible)

Got to let you know

(I'm irresistible)

Baby can't you see, you're the one for me

But you belong to another

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't wanna hurt nobody

But my heart just can't hold back

[Chorus]

It's the way you make me feel

(The way that you make me feel)

Spinning my world around

Tell me how can I walk away?

I don't care what they say

I'm loving you anyway

It's the way you make me feel

(Make me feel, make me feel)

(Make me feel, ooh, make me feel)

[Bridge]

When I look into your eyes

Every time you smile at me

Oh, I go weak inside

Baby I just can't hide my love

[Chorus]

It's the way you make me feel

(The way that you make me feel)

Spinning my world around

Tell me how can I walk away?

I don't care what they say

I'm loving you anyway (Anyway)

It's the way you make me feel

(Make me feel, make me feel)

(Make me feel, make me feel)

Tell me how can I walk away?

I don't care what they say

I'm loving you anyway
