Have to work up courage, wanna stay the night?
Alright, I been in my own zone
Wanna tell you, all the things that I'm gonna do if you were to bring me
Home alone, stand by
Needa learn the things that you like
Wanna know, if I can spend my time right
Cos for the first time I think I'm falling
I can't give you up
Like I've come to drugs, but I can't escape
It feels fake, I'm half asleep
But I know
I can trust
When it comes to my heart
Yeah, you'll fall in love
And it will tear us apart
I'm starving, all I want is your body girl
Fell at the same time, let me tell you why
Laid under the stars that same night
I wish I'd have stayed awake, just to see you again
Got in the back of your car, ain't no passengers
Oh
Imma tell you like you heard before
There's no point in getting ignored
Just wish I was forward, cos you in my mind
It's driving me cautious
(Back down my love
I can't give you up
Like I've come to drugs, but I can't escape
It feels fake, I'm half asleep
But I know
I can trust
When it comes to my heart
Yeah, you'll fall in love
And it will tear us apart
I'm starving, all I want is your body girl)
Back down my love
I can't give you up
Like I've come to drugs, but I can't escape
It feels fake, I'm half asleep
But I know
I can trust
When it comes to my heart
Yeah, you'll fall in love
And it will tear us apart
I'm starving, all I want is your body girl
(Back down my love
I can't give you up
Like I've come to drugs, but I can't escape
It feels fake, I'm half asleep
But I know
I can trust
When it comes to my heart
Yeah, you'll fall in love
And it will tear us apart
I'm starving, all I want is your body girl)
