Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don′t wanna stay around
I don't want nobody around you, baby
I′m better now that find that I found you, that's maybe
Better not try to take your love away from me
I found a diamond in the rough
Late at night they even see you there
They want you now, it's no fair
I want to be with you and only you
You don′t wanna stay around
I don′t want nobody around you, baby
I'm better now that find that I found you, that′s maybe
Better not try to take your love away from me
I found a diamond in the rough
I found you out of nowhere
Late at night they even see you there
They want you now, it's no fair
I want to be with you and only you
You don′t wanna stay around
I don't want nobody around you, baby
I′m better now that find that I found you, that's maybe
Better not try to take your love away from me
I found a diamond in the rough
