If I walked up to you
And I told ya how I feel
About ya now
And what would you say
If I took your breath away
And I loved you everyday
The way I do now
Would you let me love you, let me you long time
Would you let me love you, let me you long time
Would you let me love you, let me you long time
Would you let me love you, let me you long time
Boy I'll let you love me, let you love me long time
Boy I'll let you love me, let you love me long time
Boy I'll let you love me, let you love me long time
Boy I'll let you love me, let you love me long time

So come on, let's go

Until the roof come burnin down

Gettin freaky

Well baby now you know now

And I never felt this way before
And I swear this is true
