I Get So Emotional

Woke up with this song in my head this morning -- not sure exactly why.

Maybe because today is the birthday of my favorite friend with whom to belt out Whitney, a friend who now lives in California, whom I'm going to get to see in a few short days?

Maybe because I do, in fact, get so emotional, quite often. During the bar mitzvah on Saturday, my daughter kept looking up at me every time I started to cry. She can just sense it. I love that we have such a powerful connection.

Or maybe because in just about exactly one month, I'm going to get to see the man who taught me most of what I know about the shocking things love can do:

I don't know why I like it
I just do

I've been hearing your heartbeat inside of me
I keep your photograph beside my bed
Livin' in a world of fantasies
I can't get you out of my head

I've been waiting for the phone to ring all night
Why you wanna make me feel so good
I got a love of my own baby
I shouldn't get so hung up on you

Oh I remember the way that we touch
I wish I didn't like it so much

Oh I get so emotional baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do
Ain't it shocking what love can do
Ain't it shocking what love can do

I gotta watch you walk in the room baby
I gotta watch you walk out
I like the animal way you move
And when you talk
I just watch your mouth

Oh I remember the way that we touch
I wish I didn't like it so much

Oh I get so emotional baby
Every time I think of you
I get so emotional baby
Ain't it shocking what love can do
