Calvin Russell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I love you like I never loved another
Listen to me
There would always be another woman that I could love
If I didn't know you
But I do
And you're my baby
And the same thing goes for you
I am sure that another man could keep you happy
If I didn't
And you're my baby
Yeh you're my baby
I said the same thing goes for you
I am sure that another man could keep you happy
If I didn't
And you're my baby
And you're my baby
And you're my baby
