This Time I Know It's for Real Lyrics

What would I have to do To get you to notice me too Do I Stand in line One of a million Admiring eyes Walk a tightrope way up high Write your name across the sky I'm going crazy just to let you know You'd be amazed how much I love you so baby When I get my hands on you I won't let go This time I know it's for real Should I write or call your home Shout it out with a megaphone Radio, TV news Got to find a way To get my message to you To say I love you with a neon sign Anything to make you mine I'm going crazy just to let you know If I wait too long for you I might explode baby I've been around the block enough to know That this time I know it's for real Oh baby This time, this time, this time, this time Oh baby This time, this time Walk a tightrope way up high Write your name across the sky I'm going crazy just to let you know You'd be amazed how much I love you so baby When I get my hands on you I won't let go This time I know it's for real I'm going crazy just to let you know If I waited too long for you I might explode baby I've been around the block enough to know That this time I know it's for real
