I Do
Blaque Feat. Destiny's Child Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know
We've been spending a lot of time together and umm
I was wondering, do you
(Feel the same way I do?)
I can tell you
Maybe even show you, but
It's better if I hear it from you
You know what, let me explain myself

It's 7 AM, you're still here with me
And last night I held you tightly so
What does that mean, you see I know what it means to me
It means that I wouldn't let you go
(Tell me) is your heart still spinning from the night before?
(You are real good, yeah)
And you really need to let me know
Are you here just for (sexual dealings)
See, if you are then, (I) I just can't live a (lie)
'Cause I'm certain how I feel about you
But if you tell me (I) am the one and this is (right)
We can spend the night tonight like always
But first, you gotta tell me

That you (feel the same way I do)
Don't think you know
That I won't let you know unless you (feel the same way I do)
So if you tell me what I gotta do
Before I get caught up in you
Do you really (feel the same way I do?)
So tell me, tell me, this could be a good thing
But you gotta (feel the same way I) do

So now it's midnight, haven't heard a reply
But I can see the truth lies in your eye
Could it be that you tried
But I didn't see the signs that passed me by
When you were making love to me
Said it three times (you said)
You loved me (after) you held me
But then you never even said goodnight
(Anything I ask of you) you give it
(When you wanted me) I submitted
Still no commitment, but if I don't get it then (I)
I just can't live a (lie)
'Cause I'm certain how I feel about you
But if you tell me, (I) am the one and this is (right)
You can spend the night tonight like always
Long as you first tell me

That you (feel the same way I do)
Don't think you know
That I won't let you know unless you (feel the same way I do)
So if you tell me what I gotta do
Before I get caught up in you
Do you really (feel the same way I do?)
So tell me, tell me, this could be a good thing
But you gotta (feel the same way I do)

Ooh, I see your eyes, and I hear you calling
I hear you speaking and I'm needing to hear something
First thing I wanna hear, "I've been meaning to tell you something"
The second thing is, "if I can't have you I don't want nothing"

Who that knockin' at my door this time of night?
Ah
Oh-oh, hey-hey, baby
What you, what you doing over here so late?
I wanted to tell you somethin'
I just, I don't know how to tell you, I
Do you have anything you want to say?
Alright, you know what, I love you

Feel the same way I do




Feel the same way I do
Feel the same way I do

The last two lines seal the deal for me here:

"You ain't never heard the nine degrees
The mind degrees on lovingness philosophies
Unity the cornerstone that forms the one
Two ways to trust, either all or none
Joy, honor, respect and form the three laws that hurdle the four walls
That define the first five of all
Harmony number six takes commitment
Seventh level is peace, makes confidence
Balance like a figure eight joined at the hip infinity
Ninth reign, never-ending trip
Don't just, focus, on what your eyes can see
Think, feel, believe, give and receive"
