Baby It's You
JoJo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why everybody is trying to be
Living like a celebrity
Doing what they see on MTV
Ice is cool but I'm looking for more,
Simple things is what my heart beats for
(Cause that's me)
I don't ask for much
Havin' you is enough
You ain't got to buy nothing
It's not what I want
Baby it's you,
We don't have to go nowhere
It's not what I want
Baby it's you,
It's not for what you got
I know you got a lot
No matter what you do,
You always keep hot,
It's you, it's you, baby all I want is you yeah
It don't matter that your car is fly
And your rims are spinning on the side n'
It don't matter where we go tonight
Cause if I'm with you I'll be alright
That's cool but I'm looking for more
It's your love that my heart beats for
(Cause that's me)
Don't have to spend a dime
(baby)
I just want your time
You ain't got to buy nothing
It's not what I want
Baby it's you,
We don't have to go nowhere
It's not what I want
Baby it's you,
It's not for what you got
I know you got a lot
No matter what you do,
You always keep hot,
It's you, it's you, baby all I want is you yeah
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
You ain't got to buy nothing
It's not what I want
Baby it's you,
We don't have to go nowhere
It's not what I want
Baby it's you,
It's not for what you got
I know you got a lot
No matter what you do,
You always keep hot,
It's you, it's you, baby all I want is you yeah
