Lyrics:

I would do anything
T'hold on to you
That's just about anything
Until you pull through

I'd hold on to you
Til the stars no longer wink
I'd hold on to you
'Til you figure out
Just what to think, 'cause

You're emotion in motion
My magical potion
You're emotion in motion
To me

I would go anywhere
To meet up with you
That's just about anywhere
For one rendezvous

I'd hold on to you
Until the mountains crumble flat
I'd hold on to you
Until the figure out
Just where you're at, 'cause

You're emotion in motion
My magical potion
You're emotion in motion
To me

I would do anything
To hold on to you
Just about anything
That you want me to

I'd hold on to you
Until you take it all in stride
I'd hold on to you
'Til you want to stay here
By my side, 'cause

You're emotion in motion
My magical potion
You're emotion in motion
To me
