It's me that makes the evening long
And I hope you believe me when I say
That I don't see any other
Yeah, you're the only one to meet my mother
And it shows she loves the way you love me, so
Yes I know she loves the way you love me, girl
But I wanna show them
How much I need her, I'm in this place again
Yeah, I wanna show them
That this ain't a fantasy, she's my best fucking friend
And I wanna show, I wanna show her the world
And I need to know, she's down to go
And I wanna show, I wanna show her the world
But I need to know that I'm not a-

And I wanna know that she's not alone
And I'm not, no I'm not alone, I'm not alone
