Lyrics

What in the world’s come over you?  Seems we never get along (ooh, ah, ah, ah)  Ev’ry night I reminisce dreaming of your tender kisses

What in the world’s come over you? (wah, wah, ooh)  Could you ever change your mind? (ah, ah, ah)  If you do, I’ll still be here, dear, waiting, longing for you (ah, ah, ah)

All my life I’ve loved you so  Never dreamed I’d miss you so  Now, alone in my room each night  My heart, it cries “It’s just not right”, oh, oh, oh

What in the world’s come over you?  Could you ever change your mind? (ah, ah, ah)  If you do, I’ll still be here, dear, waiting, longing for you (ah, ah, ah)

All my life I’ve loved you so  Never dreamed I’d miss you so  Now, alone in my room each night  My heart, it cries “It’s just not right”, oh, oh, oh

What in the world’s come over you? (wah, wah, ooh)  You’re still my angel from above (ah, ah, ah)  Guess you’ll always be my one and only only real lo-o-o-ove
