Be With You
Mr. Jack-O Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Be with you
So we can do (It's CeeJay baby)
The things that lovers do
I want to (You already know)
Be with you (They gone think I'm bipolar after this one)
So we can do (Hella bipolar)
(That's what love do though)
So many miles in between
So many smiles tryna intervene
It’s been a while, or so it seems
I know I’m wild, but it’s the genes
See Ima dog but a different breed
Big paws, tryna shake these fleas
But when you on they all want a piece
Tryna bone, I’m like woman please
I know I’m wrong for the times I deceive
A happy home’s what I really need
Although you gone, I hope you never leave
That thought alone, that’s what’s killin me
Just come along yo and follow me
All this pride that I’m swallowing
No lie, no dishonesty
You a vibe, you’re the air I breathe
So believe
I want to
Be with you
So we can do the things
That lovers do
I want to
Be with you
So we can do the things
That lovers do
I plan to change my ways, I’m procrastinating
Like playing these games ain’t disaster waiting
Messing with these dames, so exasperating
Still I kee’ mo like a cancer patient
If I give you a ring, would you answer maybe?
Take my last name, everlasting baby
But if I don’t change, I’ll be batshit crazy
When I put you in the frame, so captivating
Got beauty and brains, surpassing greatness
Might sound a lil strange, but we have to make it
I got so much pain, it flows vastly lately
But since you done came, it’s evaporating
Go ignite the flame, I’m revamping/changing
Yeah ball and chain, go on clamp it, claim me
Love so insane, psychiatric placing
So hop a plane, we’ll be at it daily
Cause
I want to
Be with you
So we can do the things
That lovers do
I want to
Be with you
So we can do the things
That lovers do
I want to
Be with you
So we can do the things
That lovers do
I want to
Be with you
So we can do the things
That lovers do
