"show me how you do that trick...the one that makes me scream"

show me how you do it and i'll promise you a promise that
i'll run away with you--i'll run away with you...

spinning on that dizzy air, i kissed her face, i kissed her hair.
dreamed of all the different ways i had to make her glow.

that i'm in love with you. i am in love with you..

and i probably got some of those wrong, too.
