Answer
Dear Reah,

That would be CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT YOU by STACY LATTISAW from her 1985 album I'M NOT THE SAME GIRL. She is best known for her two biggest Hot 100 songs: LET ME BE YOUR ANGEL (#21 in 1980) and LOVE ON A TWO WAY STREET (#26 in 1981) and her 1984 duet with future NEW EDITION member and childhood friend JOHNNY GILL, PERFECT COMBINATION. Here's its lyrics:

CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT YOU / STACY LATTISAW

I just can't stop thinking about you
I can't explain it but
there's just something different about you
Never before had anyone affected me this way
Coz, i just can't stop thinking about

There's just something haunting about you
It's so unusual
You got this mystical myth that surrounds you
From the moment i first looked at you
I haven't been the same
Coz' i just can't stop thinking about you

Ooohh

I want you, i need you but i'm afraid to show you
Why can't i just tell you the way i feel about you
Please help me, please tell me
I'm not the only one in love..oooh
I'm not the only one in love

There's just something different about
it's so unusual
and i never meet anyone but you
and i'm hoping that you feel for me
the way i feel for you
Coz, i just can't stop thinking about you

Ooohh

I want you, i need you but i'm afraid to show you
Why can't i just tell you the way i feel about you
Please help me, please tell me
I'm not the only one in love..oooh
I'm not the only one in love

I hear your name and i could feel
my sadness gone to pieces
I hear your name and i'm amazed
how much i want you near me
Please help me, please tell me
I'm not the only one in love..oooh
I'm not the only one in love

Maraming salamat po!!
