Chris Martin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your girlfriends don't think I love you like I usto
And they don't seem to trust me like they usto
And from the other day you a move half time
The news dem carry a full up yo mind
You know mi love you but mi naw move blind
Really wanna know

Am I that man you felt for years ago
You say am changing that's just how life goe's
But baby girl you know mi change fi the best
Ever give you more cause mi naw give you less
All mi interest inna you mi invest
This you need fi know

That no matter what I do
And no matter what I say
Your friends are gonna judge me anyway
Baby tell me this

()
Would you sleep with your friends
And would you be with your friends
Tell your girlfriends give yo what I give yo
When the rain a fall pon the hendz

Tell me this would you be with your friends
Girl can you sleep with your friends
And if yo girlfriend give yo weh mi give yo
Then go an be with your friends

(2)
I wonder how they feel to see you cry
Baby don't you stop to think they are trying
You put a dent in the smooth weh wi have
A try bring a vibes to the mood weh wi have
Dem foot cyaa fit inna the shoes weh wi have
I really wanna know
If you think it's plenty time we spending
Then say whats on your mind an stop pretending
Everyday dem just a tell you seh mi bad
But the truth is dem only want weh wi have
Every little thing dem blow out of proportion
A this mi want yo know
That no matter what I do
And no matter what I say
Your friends are gonna judge me anyway

()
Would sleep with your friends and would you be with your friends tell your girlfriends give yo what i give yo when the rain fall pon the ends

Tell me this would you be with your friends
Girl can you sleep with your friends




And if you girlfriend give yo weh mi give yo
Then go an be with your friends
