🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • I love you, its ruining my life
  • I touched you for only a fortnight
  • I touched you, but I touched you
  • And for a fortnight there, we were forever running

Echo the hook

  • I touched you, I touched you
  • I love you, it's ruining my life
  • I love you, it's ruining my life
  • I touched you for only a fortnight
touchedfortnightruining
