You Give Me Something
James Morrison Lyrics
You want to stay with me in the morning
You only hold me when I sleep,
And I was meant to tread the water
But now I've gotten in too deep
For every piece of me that wants you
Another piece backs away.
'Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
'Cause someday I might know my heart
You already waited up for hours
Just to spend a little time alone with me
And I can say I've never bought you flowers
Hmm-hmm, I can't work out what the mean
I never thought that I'd love someone
That was someone else's dream
'Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
'Cause someday I might call you from my heart
But it might me a second too late
And the words I could never say
Gonna come out anyway
'Cause you give me something
That makes me scared, alright
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something,
Hmm, 'cause you give me something
That makes me scared
This could be nothing
But I'm willing to give it a try
Please give me something
'Cause someday I might know my heart
Know my heart, know my heart, know my heart

Zé Alexandre vencedor do The voice me trouxe até aqui. Parabéns meu camarada, deu um show de interpretação.sucesso!

@jhon elias Não... a carreira dele começou na segunda metade da primeira década de 2000... essa música foi ao ar na novela Paraíso Tropical. Ele é ainda bem jovem, deve ter no máximo uns 35 anos. Mas é bom como um cantor da década de 90 ou 80.
