I Do
꼈윰람찝완켑景 Brian McKnight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Before there was a you and me
My life was like a real bad dream
I wasn't trying to believe
In us

Now I can see the midnight sun
Somehow we need this to become one
And now it seems that I can't get
Enough, I know now

I'm living the please you more
Whenever I walk out that door
I do what I have to do
'Till I can get back to you

[Chorus]
When we touch,
When your skin touches my skin
It's too much
When I'm near it seems like the time stops,
My guard drops,
And I didn't see it coming but
From somewhere right out of the blue
Girl I never meant to love you
But I do
Girl I never meant to love you
But I do

You didn't give us half a chance
And now we got a true romance
I think we found that so amazing love

It's like we're living in a dream
What's better than you and me
And now the whole wide world can see
Its love

I don't need much from myself
Just you and nobody else
Everything, everything I do
I do it all for you

[Chorus]

And I can see the sun begin to shine
I'll wipe all the tears from your eyes
'Till you forget back in the day
When somebody broke your heart
That's why you didn't want to start
Maybe your heart had to break to get you to here
And now you gotta know how much I need you
I promise you I'll never leave you





[Chorus]

For anyone who thinks this song isn't doing well, it's currently #34 on the US Radio Media Database Chart. Which is absolutely insane for a first English US debut.

Hikikomori DC

Especially with them coming from a mid-ass company and having so little promo for this song, lol

aPaladin

if you want them to do well, people need to buy the songs on platforms.

Sindiel Taylor

@aPaladin they've already gone platinum on preorders for HEAT.
