Drove Me Wild

Lyrics:

When I think of you I think of your skin

Golden brown from the sun

Your arms outstretched, your hair cut shorter than it'd been

But still blowing in the wind

When I picture you I think of your smile

And it drives me wild

Your laugh escaping you, your head thrown to the side

And it drives me wild

You carried romance in the palm of your hand

You called the plays for us

You clung to self restraint, you followed the plan

You put the brakes on this

And it drove me, and it drove me, and it drove me wild

When I envision you I think of your sheets

Tangled up beneath me

Your body inching close, closer to the edge

I got a hold of you then

When I imagine you I think of that room

And it drives me wild

Your face relaxed your voice a whisper in my ear

And it drives me wild

You carried romance in the palm of your hand

You called the plays for us

You clung to self restraint, you followed the plan

You put the brakes on this

And it drove me, and it drove me, and it drove me wild

And it drove me, and it drove me, and it drove me wild

I would have had us swerving through those streets

Over and over

I would have stalled, or rushed us through those greens

Over and over

But you knew that (You drove me wild)

And you wouldn't let me lose control (You drove me wild)

Control (You drove me wild)

You carried romance in the palm of your hand

You called the plays for us

You clung to self restraint, you followed the plan

You put the brakes on this

And it drove me, and it drove me, and it drove me wild

You carried romance in the palm of your hand

You called the plays for us (You drove me wild)

You clung to self restraint, you followed the plan

You put the brakes on this (You drove me wild)

And it drove me, and it drove me, and it drove me wild (You drove me wild)

And it drove me, and it drove me, and it drove me wild
