Lyrics

That's a good, that's a good sign, that's a good, that's a good sign.

Oh, oh, oh, it's a good sign, oh, oh, oh, it's a good sign,

oh, oh, oh, it's a good sign, oh, oh, oh yeah, it's a...

I love the way that my heartbeat increases when you walk in a room.

The chemicals that my body releases dispel any feelings of gloom.

That's a good sign, see the meter's moving, that's a good sign, let us keep improving,

that's a good sign, see the meter's moving, that's a good sign. Don't you know?

I love electrical shocks and surprises keep attacking my heart.

I know the way my temperature's rises had to be there from the start.

That's a good sign, see the meter's moving, that's a good sign, let us keep improving,

that's a good sign, see the meter's moving, that's a good sign. Don't you know? Don't you know?

That's a good sign, see the meter's moving, that's a good sign, let us keep improving,

oh, oh, oh, it's a good sign, oh, oh, oh, it's a good sign, oh, oh, oh, it's a good sign. Right now.

I love the way that my heartbeat increases when you walk in a room.

The chemicals that my body releases dispel any feelings of gloom.

That's a good, that's a good sign, that's a good, that's a good sign.

That's a good, that's a good, ooh, ooh, ooh. Don't you know? Don't you know?

Ooh, don't you know? Don't you know? Ooh. Ooh, ooh

Good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good.

That's a good sign, see the meter's moving, that's a good sign, let us keep improving,

that's a good sign, see the meter's moving, that's a good sign. Don't you know? Don't you know?

That's a good sign, see the meter's moving, that's a good sign, let us keep improving.
