This one goes out to all the lovers

What can we do? We're helpless romantics

We cannot help who we're attracted to

So let's all dance and elevate each other



Dear diary (oh dear diary)

It's happening again

This energy (oh this energy)

Like I'm about to win (I'm about to win)

I just close my eyes (I close my eyes)

And visions appear (visions appear)

She's everything I want (everything that I want)

And it's crystal clear



Not even Marilyn Monroe (Marilyn Monroe)

Who Cleopatra? Please ('patra please)

Not even Joan of Arc (Joan of Arc)

That don't mean nothing to me

I just want a different girl



Girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl

Can't another good boy keep it this thorough?



Why? Why do I have to lie

Pretend, make believe or hide?

When I love what I've described?

But then again

I don't need no adjectives for this girl



Dear diary (oh dear diary)

It's happening again

This energy (oh this energy)

Like I'm about to win (I'm about to win)

I just close my eyes (I close my eyes)

And visions appear (visions appear)

She's everything I want (everything that I want)

And it's crystal clear



Not even Marilyn Monroe (Marilyn Monroe)

Who Cleopatra? Please ('patra please)

Not even Joan of Arc (Joan of Arc)

That don't mean nothing to me

I just want a different girl



Girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl

Girl on girl

Girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl

Can't another good boy keep it this thorough?



Dear diary (oh dear diary)

It's happening again

This energy (oh this energy)

Like I'm about to win (I'm about to win)

She's everything I want (everything that I want)

And it's crystal clear



Not even Marilyn Monroe (Marilyn Monroe)

Who Cleopatra? Please ('patra please)

Not even Joan of Arc (Joan of Arc)

That don't mean nothing to me

I just want a different girl



What's wrong with that?

What's wrong with that?

What's wrong with that?



In honor of the groove and to all who surrender to it

We say thank you, and we take it back



Wished so hard

I wished so hard that it came true

Then my lucky star

I guess you came from behind the moon

I put my arms around you

And I promise not to abuse you

Since now I've found you

Why the hell would I wanna lose you?



Dear diary (oh dear diary)

It's happening again

This energy (oh this energy)

Like I'm about to win (I'm about to win)

I just close my eyes (I close my eyes)

Not even Joan of Arc (Joan of Arc)

Girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl

Girl on girl

Girl, girl, girl, girl, girl, girl

Can't another good boy keep it this thorough?
