Intro: D A E A (8x) 


D         A        E          A 
You're as sweet as sugar on a stick, 
D             A         E       A  
Licorice on a gum drop, lickety split. 
         D         A           E           A 
When you smile the whole world opens right up. 
       D            A             E         A 
When I get a little bit of you, I can't get enough. 


Verse: 

D               A               E               A 
My heart starts pounding when I kiss you on the lips. 
D                 A               E       A  
Like water down a drain, dropping drip by drip. 
D             A           E       A 
Whenever I am with you, I feel at home. 
D            A        E                A 
Gonna run to you like ice cream down a cone. 

Chorus 

Verse: 

D                  A         E                    A 
When your hands in mine, I'm bounding 'round and 'round. 
D               A           E      A 
My hearts doin' cartwheels, upside down. 
D              A           E        A  
I'm singing so softly in a voice so sweet. 
D              A         E               A 
Standin' on my head with lightnin' in my feet. 

Chorus 

Verse: 

D                   A          E                 A 
I'm jumping off the ground and sailin' round the sun. 
D              A            E          A 
Flying back to you like the river that runs. 
D            A            E               A 
Laughing and clapping and sitting by your side, 
D               A         E              A 
Bouncing up and down on a roller coaster ride 

Chorus 

(no chords) 
I never thought I'd fall again least not like this, 

With a giggle and a hug and a tickle and a kiss. 

It's hard to think I'd let myself be captured by your charms, 

In the middle of a snowstorm I'm melting in your arms.
