The way you get to me 
 
I?gonna sing a little song, I?gonna knock on wood, 
I?gonna say a little prayer, that my luck runs good 
I?gonna get to you 
I hope I get to stay 
And even if you break my heart in two, 
I?going for broke, that?all I can do, 
I?gonna get to you 
Before you get away 
You can call crazy, I don?mind, 
The odds are bad, but I? got time
