Capo I *
(Intro)
If your feeling quite something
And you can't think what it is
If your feeling quite lonely
Lift your heart into the wind
(Song begins)
    
I had to escape
the city was sticky and cruel
Maybe I should have called you first
but I was dying to get to you
I was dreaming while I drove
the long straight road ahead, uh huh
Could taste your sweet kisses
your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside 
I drove all night to get to you 
Is that alright?
I drove all night 
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright?
I drove all night
What in this world
keeps us from tearing apart?
No matter where I go I hear
the beating of your heart
I think about you
when the night is cold and dark
No one can move me
the way that you do
Nothing erases the feeling between me and you  
I drove all night to get to you 
Is that alright?
I drove all night 
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
Is that alright?
I drove all night     
      
Could taste your sweet kisses
your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside 
I drove all night to get to you 
Is that alright?
I drove all night 
Crept in your room
Woke you from your sleep
To make love to you
I drove all night
      
Could taste your sweet kisses
your arms open wide
This fever for you is just burning me up inside
I drove all night
