Danity Kane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's midnight
I'm ridin around
My own world, me and my girl
Meeting some friends, getting it in
Just when a call comes through (eh, eh)
It took five account, 4 cars, 3 cribs
2 dogs and a one-year
(Aye yea, aye yea)
Keep thinking about the last time
Do I say what's on my mind
Gave everything in my soul
Now I'm onto another life
And I promised that I wouldn't let myself
Get caught up in a love so blind
Next time I'll do better
Do I run, do I stay
Throw this whole shit away
Is it okay if I give you my heart again
Don't break it to pieces
(No, don't do it, don't do it)
I'm on the edge of what I feel
Do I believe is all this real
You know the deal if I give you my heart again
Don't break it to pieces
(Don't do it no)
Got me thinking about you
Been so alone without you
I remember when I couldn't be without you
Sleep without you, I been good, so good
That I haven't thought about you
Now you brought it back, I don't wanna it back
Yeah I do, I'm confused
This shit ain't cool
Keep thinking about the last time
Do I say what's on my mind
Gave everything in my soul
Now I'm onto another light
And I promised I wouldn't let myself
Get caught up in a love so blind
Next time I'll do better
Do I run, do I stay
Throw this whole shit away
Is it okay if I give you my heart again
Don't break it to pieces
(Don't do it)
I'm on the edge of what I feel
Do I believe is all this real
You know the deal if I give you my heart again
Don't break it to pieces
(Don't do it, no)
I be on that 50 cal
I blew all my tears away
See me on that ra ra shit
I be on my game dear
I be on that 50 cal
I blew all my tears away
Tears away, tears away
I blew all my tears away
Do I run, do I stay
Throw this whole shit away
Is it okay if I give you my heart again
Don't break it to pieces
I'm on the edge of what I feel
Do I believe is all this real
You know the deal if I give you my heart again
Don't break it to pieces
