Love Me Like It's Yesterday
Craig David Lyrics
Oh yeah
Yeah
You know, yeah
The life that I live so different
The Merc' that I drive, been gone all my life
The music I make, yeah
You know, oh yeah
You and me girl make perfect sense
Ain't got no reason to pretend, no
I'ma take you shopping, girl
Show you what's popping, girl
Maybe take a trip away
Fly out to Italy
I cop you a brand new car
Have you looking like a superstar
Don't matter what you go through
Baby I'll come find you
Man I'm looking to the end of the day
So love me like it's yesterday
Might not see me in the morning babe
So love me like it's yesterday
Not only your laugh
You got the good that I need
So come a little closer babe
And love me like it's yesterday
You know how we roll-ohh
You know how we roll-ohh
I cop you a brand new car
Have you looking like a superstar
You know how we roll-ohh
Love me like it's yesterday
Mad 'bout my style and the way that I'm whippin' my wrist (whippin' my wrist)
Oh we, pull up in the spot I juke two songs and done up the place (done up the place)
Oh yeah, but she see my potential, but finesse my credentials
Yeah, she loving my style
I'ma take you shopping, girl
Show you what's popping, girl
