Feel the spark

[Pre-Chorus]

[light groove, bass muted — anticipation]

It would mess me up, mess me up, mess me up
If I’m read-in’ this wrong
So let me see it now, see it now, see it now
When you smile back, then the mo-ment’s gone
Girl, prove me wrong

Hey, turn the mu-sic up (Oh, oh, oh)
Got a crush I’m tryin’ not to show ya (Oh, oh, oh)
If you feel this spark that I feel right now (Oh, oh, oh)
I might step clo-ser, yeah, I might step clo-ser
I might step clo-ser, hey

Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah
This the part where I for-get what I was say-in’, say-in’
