VERSE ONE:
The first time I saw you
I could have turned and run
But a voice said,
"Stick around and have a little fun."
Was that just a big mistake
Or some foolish hope?
Before I could ask your name
You had me on the ropes
CHORUS:
I looked around and I was in the middle
A web was spinning
There was no escape
And it did not take too long before I knew
I was tangled up in you.
VERSE TWO
We drifted to the dance floor
And fought the urge to kiss
Our bodies screaming,
"Just let go and give into the bliss"
I inhaled your perfume
Like some forbidden drug
Then your eyes whispered,
"Are we falling in love?"
CHORUS:
How could this be
Love happening so fast?
Our hearts were racing
We were losing control
And it did not take too long before we knew
You were tangled up, too
BRIDGE
Now, when love comes at first sight
It can last for just one night
But we've gone on for years
Dancing thru the tears
Entangled in our lives
CHORUS
I looked around and we're both in the middle
Of a life that's simple
Loving and sweet
And there 's nothing that could make me be untrue
I'm still tangled up in you
