Amerie/Carl Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If your hands ? touch me, or would you still
Would you still play your part
And be a good girl when I’m away
And I will call you boob, a thousand times a night
Because I want to believe you baby
Wanna believe that you’re at home, alone
Even though it ain’t that easy in this long
Long distance love affair, oh yeah
I know your heart beats slow for me
Even though I’m not right there
We still share long distance love affair
Would you still tell them you’re all mine
If your hands couldn’t touch me, would you still
Would you still make time
Just a little ? greedy, girl
I’ll let it be known, I swear I’ll treat you right
And girl I hope you believe me baby
Promise I’ll be home alone
Even though it ain’t that easy in this long
Long distance love affair, oh yeah
I know your heart beats slow for me
Even though I’m not right there
We still share long distance love affair
Long as you know
that I’m coming back for you
I can stay out there and play the field
Or have a good time with the crew
But baby girl, they can’t replace you
