[English]
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
See, right now, I need you, I'll meet you somewhere now
You up now? I see you, I get you, take care now
Slow down, be cool, I miss you, come here now
It's yours now, keep it, I'll hold on until now
I need you right now, once I leave you I'm strung out
If I get you, I'm slowly breakin' down
And, oh, it's hard to see you, but I wish you were right here
Oh, it's hard to leave you when I get you everywhere
All this time I'm thinkin' we could never be a pair
Oh, no, I don't need you, but I miss you, come here
And, oh, it's hard to see you, but I wish you were right here
Oh, it's hard to leave you when I get you everywhere
All this time I'm thinkin' I'm strong enough to sink in
Oh, no, I don't need you, but I miss you, come here
But he love me not, he loves me
He holds me tight, then lets me go
He love me not, he loves me
He holds me tight, then lets me go
Soon as you leave me, we always lose connection
It's gettin' messy, I favor your affection
Don't loosen your grip, got a hold on me
Now, forever, let's get back together
Lord, take it so far away
I pray that, God, we don't break
I want you to take me up and down
And 'round and 'round again
And, oh, it's hard to see you, but I wish you were right here
Oh, it's hard to leave you when I get you everywhere
All this time I'm thinkin' we could never be a pair
Oh, no, I don't need you, but I miss you, come here
And, oh, it's hard to see you, but I wish you were right here
Oh, it's hard to leave you when I get you everywhere
All this time I'm thinkin' I'm strong enough to sink in
Oh, no, I don't need you, but I miss you, come here
But he love me not, he loves me
He holds me tight, then lets me go
He love me not, he loves me
He holds me tight, then lets me go
He love me not, he loves me
He holds me tight, then lets me go
He love me not, he loves me
He holds me tight, then lets me go
You gotta say that you're sorry at the end of the night
Wake up in the mornin', everything's alright
At the end of the story, you're holdin' me tight
I don't need to worry, am I out of my mind?
And, oh, it's hard to see you, but I wish you were right here (I'm losin' my mind)
Oh, it's hard to leave you when I get you everywhere
All this time I'm thinkin' I'm strong enough to sink in
Oh, no, I don't need you, but I miss you, come here
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
