Caught Up In You by 38 Special Lyrics Meaning – Unraveling The Anthem of Romantic Surrender
Lyrics
When I’d be sayin’ to you
“Don’t let this good love slip away
Now that we know that it’s true”
Don’t, don’t you know the kind of man I am
No, said I’d never fall in love again
But it’s real and the feeling comes shining through
So caught up in you, little girl
And I never did suspect a thing
So caught up in you, little girl
That I never want to get myself free
And baby it’s true
You’re the one
Who caught me baby you taught me
How good it could be
It took so long to change my mind
I thought that love was a game
I played around enough to find
No two are ever the same
You made me realized the love I missed
So hot! Love I couldn’t quite resist
When it’s right the light just comes shining through
So caught up in you, little girl
You’re the one that’s got me down on my knees
So caught up in you, little girl
That I never want to get myself free
And baby it’s true
You’re the one
Who caught me, baby you taught me
How good it could be
Fill your days and your nights
No need to ever ask me twice, oh no
Whenever you want me
And if ever comes a day
When you should turn and walk away, oh no
I can’t live without you
So caught up in you
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
And if ever comes a day
When you should turn and walk away, oh no
I can’t live without you
So caught up in you, little girl
You’re the one that’s got me down on my knees
So caught up in you , little girl
That I never want to get myself free
And baby it’s true
You’re the one
Who caught me baby you taught me
How good it could be, little girl
You’re the one that’s got me down on my knees
So caught up in you, little girl
That I never want to get myself free
And baby it’s true
You’re the one
Who caught me and taught me
You got me so caught up in you
