Sometimes
Kat Graham Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes we just work
Sometimes we need space
Sometimes we just need to get up out each others face
Sometimes I'm feelin', like sometimes, were running in place
But you really oughta know
If you will just stop it and be cool
'Cause sometimes I just need time to be doin' my thing
Don't you take it so personal
Woah, oh
Don't I say I love you
Oh, woah
Don't I say I care, yeah
Don't I say I'm with you, boy
Fact that I'm not going anywhere
Be good, it's so good, boy I got this
Be good, it's so good, let me rock this
We good, it's so good, so let's drop it
'Cause I told you I ain't going anywhere
Sometimes people change, sometimes people don't
Sometimes people live and last but I'm the kind that won't
Sometimes it feels like sometimes we get in our own way
But you really gotta know
That I will do anything for you
If you will just stop it and be cool
'Cause sometimes I just need time to be doin' my thing
Don't you take it so personal
Woah, oh
Don't I say I love you
Oh, woah
Don't I say I care, I care
Don't I say I'm with you, boy
Fact that I'm not going anywhere
Be good, it's so good, boy I got this (I got this)
Be good it's so good let me rock this (rock it rock baby)
