Oh my yeah

Sean Paul

Zaho

Oh my yeah

Yo yo yo

Alright then

So let me tell you this

Girl, you know I care

So if you ever seem to lose your way, don’t have no fear

Hold my hand

I’ll be there girl, you know I care girl

’Cause this love that we share

I will stay on the right track, don’t have no fear

Hold my hand

I’ll be there girl, you know I care girl

’Cause I care

The time I have will seem too short

I’ve lost too many feathers among the vultures

How many times has life courted me

And how many times has it played tricks on me

I’ve cried out your name, my love

I’ve only heard my echo in return

Your absence makes me deaf

When your voice is missing, you comfort me when you sing

Oh sing again

Girl, you know I care

So if you ever seem to lose your way, don’t have no fear

Hold my hand

I’ll be there girl, you know I care girl

’Cause this love that we share

I will stay on the right track, don’t have no fear

Hold my hand

I’ll be there girl, you know I care girl

’Cause I care

All my love, all my heart

Well, this is what you’re getting girl, from the start

On the run, on the job

I’ve never let a beat fall apart

Love is sweet but love is hard

Sometimes you gotta work on it round the clock

Never let it flop, never let it stop

Give thanks for what we got

Let me tell you this

Girl, you know I care

So if you ever seem to lose your way, don’t have no fear

Hold my hand

I’ll be there girl, you know I care girl

’Cause this love that we share

I will stay on the right track, don’t have no fear

Hold my hand

I’ll be there girl, you know I care girl

’Cause I care

You hit the target, and I know what comes next

No way to escape, it’s not just a fleeting flame

I’m so afraid of the void, I want to rush but I hesitate

And my heart beats faster and faster

Oh, I wish I could tell you

That being away from you is too hard, little by little I’m fading

Come wrap your wings around me

To take me, take me far from everything

Girl, you know I care

So if you ever seem to lose your way, don’t have no fear

Hold my hand

I’ll be there girl, you know I care girl

’Cause this love that we share

I will stay on the right track, don’t have no fear

Hold my hand

I’ll be there girl, you know I care girl

’Cause I care

The love we seek, let’s take it to the peak

’Cause you know my words aren’t cheap, girl

So the vibe is always sweet, every day we meet

When I’m done, baby girl, I want to keep you forever

Can’t get enough, I want a whole lot, girl

And the mountain we climb, it doesn’t matter how steep, girl

So why can’t you see it, girl

You know my love runs deep, girl

Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh oh whoa oh

Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh oh whoa oh

Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh oh whoa oh

Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh oh whoa oh

Le temps que j'ai, on va me paraître trop court

J'ai perdu trop de plumes parmi les vautours

Combien de fois la vie m'a fait la cour

Et combien de fois elle m'a joué des tours

J'ai crié ton nom mon amour

Je n'ai entendu que mon écho en retour

Ton absence me rend sourd

Quand ta voix me manque, tu me consoles, quand tu chantes

Oh sing again
