Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When I see you sky as a kite

As high as I might, I can't get that high

The how you move, the way you burst the clouds

It makes me want to try

[Verse 2]

And when I see you sticky as lips

As licky as trips, I can't lick that far

But when you pout, the way you shout out loud

It makes me want to start

And when I see you happy as a girl

That swims in a world of a magic show

It makes me bite my fingers through

To think I could've let you go

[Chorus]

And when I see you take the same sweet steps

You used to take, I say

"I'll keep on holding you in my arms so tight

I'll never let you slip away"

[Bridge]

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do, do-do-do, do, do-do

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do

Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do, na-na-na-na

[Verse 3]

And when I see you kitten as a cat (Ow!)

Yeah, as smitten as that, I can't get that small (Ow!)

The way you fur, the how you purr

It makes me want to paw you all

And when I see you happy as a girl (Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)

That lives in a world of make believe (Do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)

It makes me pull my hair all out

To think I could've let you leave

[Chorus]

And when I see you take the same sweet steps

You used to take, I know

I'll keep on holding you in my arms so tight

They'll never let you go
