Baby your beauty is just something
Away from this time
I never knew that your perfection
Could exist around
I gotta get to know and show you
What I'm all about
Got to let my feelings out
Should I just talk to ya, baby baby
Should I let u go, no no no no
What if u diss me girl, no no no
No matter what , I'm so on
Laura, you're so beautiful
Oh my, oh oh
Laura, you're so magical
No other girl could make me feel this way
You're like a big hit on the top list straight
From east to south
Your name just seems to be the only word
On every mouth
I know my competition's harder
Then ever before
What to do I'm drowning girl, and I just
Don't know what I'm waiting for
Should I just talk to ya, baby baby
Should I let u go, no no no no
What if u diss me girl, no no no
No matter what , I'm so on

No other girl could make me feel this way
Some way some how, (yeah) I gotta do this, girl
I guess the right time is now, I ma give
It a whirl
If u bounce me back, (c'mon) then at least I tried
And if I get a date, that would be alright
