The Effect You Have on Me Songtext

von Pat Benatar

There are people who have no trouble
In expressing what they feel
For me it's never been that bad
It's just the way I've always been

I often try to tell my friends
‘Bout the effect you have on me
I don't know why
I can't explain
When you are near
My heart is weak

It spins around my head and then
Recalls your fingers down my spine
It goes away, comes back again
Makes me cry, it makes me shy

You have in your hands, my light of love
And in your eyes, all that I've missed
What more could I expect from life
Than your loving and tender kiss

And they can talk about paradise
And all the dreams that are to be
I laugh and doubt it could compare
To the effect you have on me

There are no words, no reasons why
The tears that sometimes fill my eyes
They're only tears of happiness
It's only fear of losing you

I often try to tell my friends
‘bout this effect you have on me
I don't know why
I can't explain
When you are near my heart is weak

It spins around my head and then
Recalls your fingers down my spine
It goes away, comes back again
Makes me cry, it makes me shy

Only your voice can bring me peace
Only your touch can bring me joy
What more should I expect from this life
When so many people
Still search for love

I know I never will explain
This effect you have on me
But if I have on you the same
We'll be in love
Eternally
