Ow, yeah I used to think maybe you loved me, now, baby, I'm sure And I just can't wait 'til the day when you knock on my door Now every time I go for the mailbox, gotta hold myself down 'Cause I just can't wait 'til you write me you're coming around Now I'm walking on sunshine, whoa I'm walking on sunshine, whoa I'm walking on sunshine, whoa And don't it feel good? All right now And don't it feel good?
