[English]

Is it too much if I'm thinking about you daily?

It isn't too much late night calling me up all wavy

Stop playing, you know I'm your favorite

Let's not complicate it

Boy, you gotta say it isn't too much

I got to let you know

The tension is killing me

Let's cut the back and forth

You know that it's only you I need

Your loving on me

And I just can't fight the feeling, so get up to my speed

It's like, it's like

It started when we were younger, you were mine

There was only one thing we needed, it was time

I had dreams of the biggest diamond

A king size bed that we never lied in

And look at what you did, boy, you brought the tide in

And now I wanna know

Is it too much if I'm thinking about you daily?

It isn't too much late night calling me up all wavy

Stop playing, you know I'm your favorite

Let's not complicate it

Boy, you gotta say it isn't too much

What, what I want I need now

Well, is it too much to ask for you to tell me maybe?

'Cause this type shit drive me crazy

And I don't need you to play me

But it's not like you're running off to find another lady

It's like

It started when we were younger, you were mine

There was only one thing we needed, it was time

I had dreams of the biggest diamond

A king size bed that we never lied in

And look at what you did, boy, you brought the tide in

And now I wanna know

Is it too much if I'm thinking about you daily?(Is it too much, is it too much?)

It isn't too much late night calling me up all wavy(Calling me every time you need me)

Stop playing, you know I'm your favorite (You know, you know)

Let's not complicate it

Boy, you gotta say it isn't too much
