Situations
Keyshia Cole Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Started really simple
Coming through 'cause I missed you, and I couldn't wait to kiss you
I tried to play shy a little, but not trying to move fast but not too slow
Because I know, you're the kind of guy, I see you already got me
She could never be no
Half as good as me, let me show
Been here by your side, living for you day and night
Can't understand why you're not my man but
I should be your girl
I'm falling in love again, god damn we kissed again, it went a little bit further than
I'm falling,
I thought this boy was just a friend, I need my baby here
Cause can't nobody love me like he can
And now it's late now no talk, convos on the phone getting sparked
I'm about to jump in my car, and come and see you
No holding back I miss you, I'm letting go tonight
Oh, and baby I need you, and nothing can stop me, we're too close now
Everything you do, got me crazy over you ,
I can't stand the fact, that she is always on your back so
What's up
What you going do, 'cause I'm really feeling you, oh yeah
And boy I need to know, if you think that I should be your girl
I'm falling in love again, god damn we kissed again, it went a little bit further than
I'm falling,
I thought this boy was just a friend, I need my baby here
Cause can't nobody love me like he can
She can't love you like I love you
She can't love you like I love you
Dang shorty I got my mind on my money and the hood got me tied up
Plus my baby momma keep me fired up, these other broads probably get me wired up
But a fly nigga could see that you a rider, that's how you got me creepin' and crawlin'
Deep into a bawl six in the morning, we in the zone deep then we all in,
Trying to get it on then the bitch keep callin' (I need you) And she be killing it though,
I see you trying to fight it but you feelin' me though
Look, I'm feeling you right back, I'm gonna pick you up in the back I know you like that
I'm falling in love again, god damn we kissed again, it went a little bit further than
I'm falling,
I thought this boy was just a friend, I need my baby here
Cause can't nobody love me like he can
