Lyrics:

[English]

There's no need to lie (to lie)

'Cause baby, I don't have to

Truth is, I'm down for you

Caught me by surprise

Before I knew it, I was caught in your vibe

That type of energy is all that I'm on

More than your body is turning me on

That type of pressure, can't leave it alone (alone)

When I thought I had enough

I thought forever I would be alone ('lone)

But girl, you showed me that, damn it, I'm wrong (wrong)

That type of pressure can't, leave it alone

If I wanted to, I could do it, babe

'Cause it's that feeling (it's that feeling)

It's that feeling that you get when it feels serious (when it feels serious)

And it's getting serious (it's getting serious)

This is more than I want you in tonight

Feels more like I want you here for life

To make it clear to ya (make it clear to ya)

This feels serious, serious

I was on the run, I wasn't committed

Now you got control, girl, I must admit it

Damn, I use to think love was just a feeling

I guess that's how it feels, when you ain't done healing and that's why

You caught me by surprise

Before I knew it, I was lost in your eyes

That type of energy is all that I'm on (on)

More than your body is turning me on (on)

That type of pressure, can't leave it alone

When I thought I had enough

I thought forever I would be alone ('lone)

But girl, you showed me that, damn it, I'm wrong (wrong)

That type of pressure, can't leave it alone

If I wanted to, I could do it, babe

'Cause it's that feeling (it's that feeling)

It's that feeling that you get when it feels serious (when it feels serious)

And it's getting serious (it's getting serious)

This is more than I want you in tonight

Feels more like I want you here for life

To make it clear to ya (make it clear to ya)

This feels serious, serious

This is more than I want you in tonight

Feels more like I want you here for life

It's getting serious

So serious

'Cause you're my type of company (my type of company...)
