I can see you hurting
I've been through the same thing
Baby, don't you worry, I got you

LYRICS
Oh my God, here we go
I drink a little too much again
Now I'm stuck in your bed again
Oh my God, I'm too close, ooh
But this feeling is so damn good
Guess I'm loving it more than I should

I know I should leave but when you're next to me deep asleep
Your skin on my skin
Can't help the way I feel, woah
But you kinda know there's no place I'd rather be, honestly
When I hold you close to me

I want you to
To love me, to love me, to love me but don't fall in love
To hold me, to hold me, to hold me but not for too long
I want you to love me, to love me but don't fall in love
Cause I'm not the one to love

Oh my God, here we are
I'm fallin' deeper into this mess
Yeah, I know I shouldn't get undressed
We both know this ain't right
It's a little too dangerous
This little thing between us

I know I should leave but when you're next to me half asleep
Your skin on my skin
Can't help the way I feel, woah
But you kinda know there's no place I'd rather be, honestly
When I hold you close to me

I want you to
To love me, to love me, to love me but don't fall in love
To hold me, to hold me, to hold me but not for too long
I want you to love me, to love me but don't fall in love
Cause I'm not the one to love

I want you to
I want you to
I want you to
(I know I should leave but when you are next to me half asleep
Your skin on my skin)

I want you to
To love me, to love me, to love me but don't fall in love
To hold me, to hold me, to hold me but not for too long
I want you to love me, to love me but don't fall in love
Cause I'm not the one to love
I want you to
To love me, to love me, to love me
I want you to
To hold me, to hold me, to hold me
I want you to
I want you to love me, to love me but don't fall in love
Cause I'm not the one to love

Bebe is by far one of my favourite artists. She had a huge impact on my life and was one of the main reasons I decided to chase my dreams and do music. If you got a minute. Make sure you check out my music. It won't disappoint.

I love the meaning behind this song. At least from what I understand, she’s saying that she thinks she’s not worthy of being loved. It’s such a relatable feeling, thinking you’re not good enough to be with but loving the feeling. You keep going back and fourth deciding whether or not you want to keep up the connection with someone. But you really think deep down that no one will ever love you…so you look out for them instead of being “selfish” in your own head.

@pennzter5157

i’m so annoyed she didn’t promote this song cause this had everything in it to be huge :(
