Say nothing's gonna keep us apart

My body gotta be where you are

You are

I say nothing's gonna keep us apart

I listen to my body

Baby ain't nobody gonna keep us apart

Gon' keep us apart

I thought I told you no more

I swear I really meant it babe

I was so passive I was so naked

Lying in my bed it came
