But I can't get away from you
You gave me your love
And all of your time
But I can't get away from you
But I can't get away
(Lose it, lose it, music)
(Lose it, lose it, music)
There ain't no way I can leave you behind
Every night you're by my side
'Cause I can't get away from you
When I wake up
Till I lay down
I just can't get away
You're always there next to me
In all the things that I see
There ain't no way that I
Can't be close to you
You're in my hopes and my dreams
You're like my everything
I don't if I'm
Too strong out for you
I don't know u don't know
(Lose it, lose it, music)
I can't leave you behind, yey
(Lose it, lose it, music)
There ain't no way I can leave you behind
Every time I'm thinking this will pass
Everything that I do is for you
But I told u that I need some space before
I don't know
(Lose it, lose it, music)
I told u everything
That I had on my mind
I don't know why
I can't get through to you
I don't know why you with me
You could have any guy
I just wanna be oh so close to you
I told u everything
That I had on my mind
I don't know why
I can't get through to you
I don't know why you with me
You could have any guy
I just wanna be oh so close to you

Everyday you're on my mind
You are always in my thoughts, day after day
But I can't get away from you
I can't seem to distance myself from you
You gave me your love
You expressed your romantic feelings towards me
And all of your time
You spent a lot of your time with me
But I can't get away from you
Despite everything, I still can't separate myself from you
But I can't get away
I feel trapped and cannot escape
Every night you're by my side
Every night, you are here with me
'Cause I can't get away from you
It's because I can't seem to break free from you
When I wake up
From the moment I wake up
Till I lay down
Until I go to bed
I just can't get away
I continue to feel trapped and unable to leave
You're always there next to me
You are constantly beside me
In all the things that I see
I see you in everything around me
There ain't no way that I
I cannot
Can't be close to you
Keep my distance from you
You're in my hopes and my dreams
You are in all my aspirations and desires
You're like my everything
You mean everything to me
I don't if I'm
I'm not sure if I'm
Too strong out for you
Too emotionally intense for you
I don't know u don't know
I don't know, and you don't either
Every time I'm thinking this will pass
Whenever I consider that this situation will eventually go away
Everything that I do is for you
All my actions are motivated by my feelings for you
But I told u that I need some space before
But I told you that I required some personal distance previously
I don't know
I'm uncertain
I told u everything
I revealed everything to you
That I had on my mind
All that was on my thoughts
I don't know why
I have no idea why
I can't get through to you
I'm unable to connect with you
I don't know why you with me
I have no idea why you are with me
You could have any guy
You could be with anyone
I just wanna be oh so close to you
I just long to be incredibly intimate with you
