Movie quotes

  • (..) what's the problem, baby? # What's the problem? I don't know # Well, maybe I'm in love # Think about it every time I think 'bout it # Can't stop thinking 'bout it # How much longer will it take to cure this? # Just to cure it, 'cause I can't ignore it # If it's love, love # Makes me wanna turn around and face me # But I don't know nothing 'bout love # Oh, come on, come on # Turn a little faster # Come on, come on # The world will follow after # Come on, come on (..)
