Dan Talevski Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's midnight, this ain't right
You're still in my place
Baby, why are we fighting?
I need you with me
It's been three days
Why you not even trying?

I like when you're laying here with me
We're so high, I just wanna stay right here wit' you
What you wanna do?
Baby, let me love you, love you

Baby, going crazy
I don't know what I'll do if I ain't got you
Babe, you been right beside me
And I don't got a clue if I ain't got you, babe
I'll do anything for you
I got nothing if I don't got you
Baby, I'm going crazy
I don't know what I'll do if I ain't got you, babe, no no
I don't know what I'll do if I ain't got you, babe, no no
I don't know what I'll do if I ain't got you, babe

It's too much, this ain't us
What happened to everything that we started?
Don't let go 'cause I know
Babe, me and you gon' be left broken hearted

I like when you're laying here with me
We're so high, I just wanna stay right here wit' you
What you wanna do?
Baby, let me love you, love you

Baby, going crazy
I don't know what I'll do if I ain't got you
Babe, you been right beside me
And I don't got a clue if I ain't got you, babe
I'll do anything for you
I got nothing if I don't got you
Baby, I'm going crazy
I don't know what I'll do if I ain't got you, babe, no no
I don't know what I'll do if I ain't got you, babe, no no
I don't know what I'll do if I ain't got you, babe

I like when you're laying here with me
We're so high, I just wanna stay right here wit' you
What you wanna do?
So, baby, let me love you

Baby, going crazy
I don't know what I'll do if I ain't got you
Babe, you been right beside me
And I don't got a clue if I ain't got you, babe
I'll do anything for you
I got nothing if I don't got you
Baby, I'm going crazy
I don't know what I'll do if I ain't got you, babe, no no




I don't know what I'll do if I ain't got you, babe, no, no
I don't know what I'll do if I ain't got you, babe

Girl: Do u even wanna be with me forever?
Boy: No
Girl: Do you u even like me?
Boy: No
Girl: Would u cry if i walked away?
Boy: No
She heard enough and was hurt... She walked away with tears in her eyes
The boy grabbed her arm
Boy: your not pretty...you're beautiful
Boy: I dont wanna be with u forever ...I need to be with u forever
Boy: I dont like u...I love u
Boy: I wouldn't cry if u walked away......I would die if u walked away.
Boy whispers: Plz stay with me
Girl: I will...
*Tonight at midnight your true love will realize they loves u

*Tomorrow it could be anywhere
*Get ready for the shock of your life
