We’ll take on the lyrics and the business behind the song. So sit back, while we spin the record.

We go together

Better than birds of a feather, you and me ??

I'm a sucker for you

You say the word and I'll go anywhere blindly??

I'm a sucker for you, yeah

Any road you take, you know that you'll find me???

I'm a sucker for all the subliminal things

No one knows about you (About you), about you (About you) ??

And you're makin' the typical me break my typical rules

It's true, I'm a sucker for you, yeah ??
