“Wrapped Up”
By Olly Murs
Now excuse me if I sound rude
But I love the way that you move
And I see me all over you now
Baby when I look in your eyes
There’s no way that I can disguise
All these crazy thoughts in my mind now
There’s just something about you
You got the lock, I got the key
You know the rest
You know just where I wanna be
Don’t ever stop controlling me
I kind of like it
When you bring me to my knees
Chorus
You got me wrapped up
Around your finger
I’d do anything for your love now
And when you touch it, the feeling lingers
Takes me up so I high I can’t come down
You got me wrapped up baby
I don’t ever wanna give up
All this spell you got me under
I see fireworks when we touch now
There’s just something about you
Your body fits on mine like a glove
Let them say whatever they want
It’s too late cause you’re in my blood now
(Chorus)
You got me so, so wrapped up
There’s just something about you
Wrapped up
You got me so, so wrapped up
There’s just something about you
Everything that you do
Every way that you move
There’s just something about you
(Chorus)
