Sittin' Up in My Room
Brandy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Seems like ever since
The first day we met
There is no one else I think of more than you
Can't seem to forget
Can't get you out my head
'Cause the verdicts in
I'm crazy over you
How can one be down?
Tell me where to start
'Cause every time you smile
I feel tremors in my heart
I have but one concern
How can I get with you?
'Til my day comes here's what I'm gon' do

Be sitting up in my room
Back here thinking 'bout you
I must confess I'm a mess for you
Be sitting up in my room
Back here thinking 'bout you
I'm just a mess with a thing for you

Pray that you'll invest
In my happiness
All it takes is just one simple call from you
Turn my heart around
If I'm making ground
Pretty baby please tell me if I'm getting through
Tell me what is up
You see I need to know
Tell me if I'm far or if I'm getting close
I have but one concern
And one concern is you
'Til I'm with you here's what I'm gon' do

Be sitting up in my room
Back here thinking 'bout you
I must confess I'm a mess for you
Be sitting up in my room
Back here thinking 'bout you
I'm just a mess with a thing for you

Ooh whoa, oh yeah, oh yeah
Hmm, oh, oh, oh

How can one be down?
Tell me where to start
'Cause every time you smile
I feel tremors in my heart
I have but one concern
How can I get with you?
'Til my day comes here's what I'm gonna do

Be sitting up in my room
Back here thinking 'bout you
I must confess I'm a mess for you
Be sitting up in my room
Back here thinking 'bout you
I'm just a mess with a thing for you

Be sitting up in my room
Back here thinking 'bout you
I must confess I'm a mess for you
Be sitting up in my room
Back here thinking 'bout you
I'm just a mess with a thing for you

Be sitting up in my room
Back here thinking 'bout you
I must confess I'm a mess for you
Be sitting up in my room
Back here thinking 'bout you
I'm just a mess with a thing for you

Be sitting up in my room
Back here thinking 'bout you
I must confess I'm a mess for you
Be sitting up in my room
Back here thinking 'bout you
I'm just a mess with a thing for you

Be sitting up in my room
Back here thinking 'bout you




I must confess I'm a mess for you
Be sitting up in my room
