Moment
Jay-May Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For as long as I've been blue
Every day since we've been parted
All I've thought about was you
Didn't need the time for sorrow
Didn't need the time for pain
What am I supposed to do
Was the worst I ever knew?
In a moment like this
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, what you're looking for
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, could you ask for more, ooh
In a moment like this
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, what I have to do
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, how to get to you, oh
In a moment like this
Ever since the day you left me
Ooh, ever since you went away
I'm lost and I don't know
Where am I supposed to go
I still miss you so
In a moment like this
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, what you're looking for
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, could you ask for more, oh
In a moment like this
When I need you to hold me
Say you'll love and never leave me
My heart will forever be true
In a moment like this
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, what you're looking for
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, could you ask for more, oh
In a moment like this
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, what I have to do
Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know, how to get to you, oh
In a moment like this
