Lyrics

I'm writing 'bout the book I read
I have to sing about the book I read
I'm embarrassed to admit it hit the soft spot in my heart
When I found out you wrote the book I read
So take my shoulders as they touch your arms
I'm a little cautious but I feel alright
The book I read was in your eyes
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
Oh ho
Oh, I'm living in the future
I feel wonderful, I'm tipping over backwards
I'm so ambitious, I'm looking back
I'm running a race and you're the book I read
So feel my fingers as they touch your arms
I'm spinning around but I feel alright
The book I read was in your eyes
Ooh hoo, ah ha
Oh ho, ooh
Na na na na
Na na na na na-na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na-na na, ha, ha!
Oh, na na na na
Ooh na na na na na na na
Mmm, na na na na
Na na na na na-na na
Ooh, na na na na
Na na na na na-na na
Na na na na
Na na na na na-na na
Na na na naa
Oh ho, oh oh
Oh oh
Oh, I'm living in the future
I feel wonderful, I'm tipping over backwards
I'm so ambitious, I'm looking back
I'm running a race and you're the book I read
Feel my fingers as they touch your arms
I'm spinning around and I feel alright
The book I read was in your eyes
Ooh hoo, ah ha
Oh ho, ooh
Na na na na
Na na na na na-na na
Na na na na
Na na na na na-na na, hey!
Na na na na
Na, na na na na-na-na-na na, oh ho
Na na na na
Ooh na na na na na, ah
Ooh, na na na na
Ooh! Ah yeah
Na na na na
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Na na na na na na na
Ah na na, na, na na na na na
Na na, na na na na na-na na
Na na na na
Ho ho, oh ho
Oh ho, ooh
