Cassie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are the reason why sometimes I can't sleep at night. I really wanna hold you, tell you what I'm goin through.
How you stay on my mind, ooo baby you love my time.
Don't know when things changed, baby it's not the same.
I can't explain the way I need you (need you)
Boy I know I feel it inside
Don't know why you go, but baby can we chill a little more.
I don't know why you go cos I miss your touch at night (don't know why you go, baby I don't know).
I don't know why you go cos I miss you touch at night, so baby can we chill tonight? Just chill tonight.
See I know you got your working situation.
But if you want me you'll make some time for us.
I know it's hard for you, but I get anxious, baby.
Tired of being alone, I don't why you go.
I don't know why you go cos I miss your touch at night (you know I miss your touch, baby I don't know).
I don't know why you go cos I miss you touch at night. So baby can we chill tonight?
Just chill tonight

She expresses her need for him and her desire to please him.
