Said I got an email today
Kinda thought that you forgot about me
So I wanna hit you back to say
Just like you, I get lonely
Baby, I could really get to know you
Take my time to show you
Don't tell anybody what we do when I get lonely
Take me to another place where I'll be
Into space, just you and me with no rules
Just like you, I get lonely too

Ready for us to get it on
Ain't got a love to call steady
Hope it ain't like that for long
I'll be your friend if you let me
Don't want to come on strong
'Cause too many people wanna get me
But a girl will do what I gotta do
Just like you, I get lonely
Baby, I could really get to know you

Everyday I think I'm gonna meet ya
Can't wait 'till the day I see ya
