Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Heard you said that you just need a real woman, baby here I come, I hear you baby
Had some mishaps and a couple setbacks, baby here I am, I hear you babe
Open up your door, well I really need to come in
I need it all, won't be no fronting
I hear you call, I'm bringing my love in, yeah
Gotta have you in my life

I'll be losing my mind every time you take me to your wonderland

When I look into your eyes, I get lost in your wonderland
When you goin' away I'm dreaming about you baby
Got me losing my mind every time you take me to your wonderland

When you said that, uh, I got that run back
You was talking good, I see you baby
Who would'a thought that, you was stating true facts
Now you got me hooked, you did that baby, yay
Open up your door, girl I really wanna come in
I need it all, won't be no fronting
I hear you call up, bringing the loving
Gotta have you in my life, ooh

I'll be losing my mind every time you take me to your wonderland
When I look into your eyes, I get lost in your wonderland
When you goin' away, I'm dreaming about you baby
Got me losing my mind every time you take me to your wonderland

When I can't find the words 'cause it feels too good

And you let me get inside of your heart, I just can't lie I say
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh, oohhh, oh
