Here With You
Malyssa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Movin' in slow motion
everybody needs to dance
caught up in the moment
when I see your freaky glance

I don't want to get started
just to end up brokenhearted
don't play me for a fool

if you want me
here with you

I've got my doubts
'cause I've been here before
but if you stay with me
we'll work things out
we could be together on the floor

I don't want to get started
just to end up brokenhearted
don't play me for a fool
if you want me
here with you

you won't have to be alone
just promise you'll stay here and
we'll be together
forever more

Baby look at me
Your music makes me dance
baby if you can be just a little open-minded
we'll be together on the floor

don't want to get started
just to end up brokenhearted
don't play me for a fool
if you want me
here with you

you won't have to be alone
just promise you'll stay here and

we'll be together
forever more
