Kim about ‘Hypnotise’
In the future if someone was to ask me to name my favourite song I’ve written with Ricki, I think this would jump straight into my mind. Ricki has composed one of the most beautiful melodies on the album. The words are from the heart of someone who felt hypnotised, what more can I say?

Lyrics
(Baby you hypnotise)
(Baby you hypnotise)
(Hypnotise)
I can’t help it when you’re near me
I don’t think straight I get all confused
I just lose all my concentration
With no question at all I’d surrender to you
Standing here so close together
I can feel all the magic again
But I’m holding back the emotion
Couldn’t take anymore of the heartache and pain
I know I should take it slow but
The minute I see you I just let go
Cos you,
Baby you hypnotise
I just have to look in your eyes
I’m in a daze I lose control
Deeper inside my mind
I’m leaving the real world behind
I give to you my heart and soul
It’s a gamble can we take it
Playing safe is no way to survive
There’s a chance for us we can make it
Give our love room to breathe to keep it alive
Admit that we made mistakes but
I know in my heart that it’s not too late
Cos you
Baby you hypnotise
I just have to look in your eyes
I’m in a daze I lose control
Deeper inside my mind
I’m leaving the real world behind
I give to you my heart and soul
It feels like I’m falling in love with you all over again
And I’m trying not to let it show
But the minute I see you I just let go
I just have to look in your eyes
I’m in a daze
I lose control
