Lost in a dream I don't know which way to go Now if you are all that you seem Then maybe I'm movin' way too slow I've been a fool before Wouldn't like to get my love caught In the slammin' door How about some information please Straight up now tell me Do you really want to love me forever oh, oh, oh Or am I caught in a hit and run? Straight up now tell me Is it gonna be you and me together oh, oh, oh Or are you just having fun? Time's standing still Waitin' for some small clue Now, I keep getting chills When I think your love is true Do, do ya love me Do, do ya love me Baby, yeah! I've been a fool before Wouldn't like to get my love caught In the slammin' door Are you more than hot for me Or am I a page in your history book I don't mean to make demands But the word and the deed go hand in hand How about some information please Information please Straight up now tell me Do you really want to love me forever oh, oh, oh Or am I caught in a hit and run? Straight up now tell me Is it gonna be you and me together oh, oh, oh Or are you just having fun? (Paula Abdul, Post Modern Jukebox)
