DJ Envy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you focus on me? (This is the remix)
Baby, can you focus on me?
Please
Hands in the soap
Have the faucet's running
And I keep looking at you
And you're stuck in your zone
You don't have a clue
But I don't wanna give up
Baby, I just want you to get up
Lately, I've been a little fed up
Wish you would just focus on
Me
Can you focus on me?
Baby, can you focus on me?
Me
oh, me
Can you focus on me?
Baby, can you focus on me?
(Chris Brown)
What is this a joke?
You know I get this money
So I guess you can't complain (mm)
You don't have to be alone
If you bring your ass home
You been running through my mind all day
I can't fuck it up
Baby, I just want you to let up (ohh)
Maybe I been a little selfish, I should do better (yeah)

Baby, can you focus on me?

Can't you see?
I just wanna love you, baby
Look me in my eyes, oh oh
