Lyrics

Every single time that I'm not with you
If you spend the night baby it could be heaven
Hit me on my line if you tryna come through
I feel my heartbeat bumpin to the bass (boom boom boom boom)
She give me butterflies and they won't go away (away away)
Under the stars she took my hand and said
I love you, I need you, I need you here to stay
I'd like to give you what you need
I'd try but you're making it hard for me
How do I make you believe?
'Cause I love you, I need you, I need you here to stay
I'd like to give you what you need
I'd try but you're making it hard for me
How do I make you believe?
'Cause I love you, I need you, I need you here to stay
Every time in this thing girl something is missing
And wish that I could fix it, I wish things were different
What else? What else?
If you love me girl then say it
Say what else? What else?
If you wanna be my baby
I feel my heartbeat bumpin to the bass (boom boom boom boom)
She give me butterflies and they won't go away (away away)
Under the stars she took my hand and said
I love you, I need you, I need you here to stay
I'd like to give you what you need
I'd try but you're making it hard for me
How do I make you believe?
'Cause I love you, I need you, I need you here to stay
I'd like to give you what you need
I'd try but you're making it hard for me
How do I make you believe?
'Cause I love you, I need you, I need you here to stay
Is this what you want?
The baddest?
I know what you want… without askin
I hear one side to have it
I hear twice is a habit
Don't get caught up in traffic
I heard that it's hazardous storm and I'm sorry,
let's do that on the mattress
I just keep askin is it real? Is it real?
Look tell me is it real?
Yep, real enough to go and get it tatted
Getting flowers, now you look like you won a pageant
I can take you to the crib, condo, where the cabin wussup?
If you make it I can make it happen, I can grant it
Don't you think my granny fell for granted
I know that's how she end 10,
we ain't even cappin and to leave this bed
I'mma need a ****in ransom,
Man I got er screamin finally famous when we fly around
Never lie to you less I lyin down
I put the writing on the wall
But you don't understand it all like we in China Town
We one in one, both one live once
And when you put the twos together
That's now 22, it's forever
I promise 2020 couldn't even make it clearer
I swear, Sean Don
I'd like to give you what you need
I'd try but you're making it hard for me
How do I make you believe?
'Cause I love you, I need you, I need you here to stay
I'd like to give you what you need
I'd try but you're making it hard for me
How do I make you believe?
'Cause I love you, I need you, I need you here to stay
