I got a girl crush Hate to admit it but I got a heart rush It ain't slowing down I got it real bad Want everything she has That smile and that midnight laugh She's giving you now
I want to taste her lips Yeah, 'cause they taste like you I want to drown myself In a bottle of her perfume I want her long blonde hair I want her magic touch Yeah, 'cause maybe then You'd want me just as much And I got a girl crush Oh, I got a girl crush
I don't get no sleep I don't get no peace Thinking about her Under your bed sheets The way that she's whispering The way that she's pulling you in Lord knows I've tried I can't get her off my mind
I want to taste her lips Yeah, 'cause they taste like you I want to drown myself In a bottle of her perfume I want her long blonde hair I want her magic touch Yeah, 'cause maybe then You'd want me just as much And I got a girl crush Oh, I got a girl crush
I got a girl crush Hate to admit it but I got a heart rush Ain't slowing down
