Lie About Us
Avant Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh oy,
Yeah yeah

Baby I know
When we started out there were things you didn't know
But babygirl
We got a lotta things we need to discuss
I know I'm asking for a lot but just trust
You say that things getting old
Sneakin', round creepin' and love on the low
Now babygirl
I can't wait till' it's officially us
I can't wait let them know about us

First I thought that I could take you boy but I don't know (I don't know)
You told me you were gonna leave her for me long ago (long ago)

Eventually I will but I just gotta take it slow
Don't wanna break her heart, although I gotta let her go so baby

So please don't say you wanna give up.
How do I tell her that I'm fallen in love,
And I know your waiting patiently for that day,
When we no longer have to lie about us.
When I'm with her all I want is your touch,
And when you call me I don't wanna hang up,
And I know I say it often but I can't wait
Till' we no longer have to lie about us.

Baby I know the situation don't seem fair to us both
But babygirl, she's an issue that I'm bout to adjust
Don't mistake the love we make for just lust,
You are my soul, mind, body, spirit all that I know.
But babygirl I can't wait till' it's officially us
I can't wait to tell the world about us.

First I thought that I could take you boy but I don't know (I don't know)
You told me you were gonna leave her for me long ago (long ago)

Eventually I will but I just gotta take it slow
Don't wanna break her heart, although I gotta let her go so baby

So please don't say you wanna give up (please don't say).
How do I tell her that I'm fallen in love (ooh whoah ooh)
And I know your waiting patiently for that day,
When we no longer have to lie about us (no longer have to lie).
When I'm with her all I want is your touch (oeehhh oohh),
And when you call me I don't wanna hang up (baby you don't),
And I know I said it often but I can't wait
till' we no longer have to lie about us

Baby won't you wait, just a little bit
Just a little bit, just a little bit longer, longer
Just a little bit, just a little bit (I want you to wait)
just a little bit longer, longer
Just a little bit, just a little bit
just a little bit longer, longer
just a little bit, just a little bit,
just a little bit longer longer

Baby so please don't say you wanna give up,
How do I tell her that I'm falling in love (how do I tell my baby).
And I know your waiting patiently for that day,
When we no longer have to lie about us (no longer have to lie about us).
When I'm with her, all I want is your touch
And when you call me I don't wanna hang up
And I know I said it often but I can't wait
till' we no longer have to lie about us (no longer have to lie)

So baby so please don't say you wanna give up (don't say it)
How do I tell her that I'm falling in love (how do I tell my baby).
And I know your waiting patiently for that day
When we no longer have to lie about us
When I'm with her, all I want is your touch
And when you call me I don't wanna hang up
And I know I said it often but I can't wait
till' we no longer have to lie about us

Baby won't you wait just a little bit, just a little bit, (baby)
Just a little bit longer (baby), longer
Just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit longer
(Baby I'mma wait for you)

I'm waitin' just a little bit, longer
Will you wait, yeah, yeah
Just a little bit, just a little bit
Just a little bit, longer
