N.O.R.E Feat. Sean Kingston Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I watch the people passing by.
I used to smile and say hello.
Guess I was just a happy guy.
Then you happened, girl,
This feeling that possesses me.
I just can't move myself.
I guess it all just had to be.
[Chorus:]
I can't see nobody, no, I can't see nobody.
Mine eyes can only look at you, you.
I used to have a brain, I used to think of many things.
I watched the falling rain and listened to the sweet birds sing.
Don't ask me why, little girl.
I love you and that's all I can say.
You're ev'ry ,ev'ry breath I take.
You are my nights; my night and day.
[Chorus]
Every single word you hear
Is coming from this heart of mine.
I never felt like this before
A love like yours so young and fine.
And now as I try to forget you
It doesn't work out any way.
I loved you such a long time ago
But in my eyes you'll always be.
Every single word you hear
Is coming from this heart of mine.
I loved you such a long time ago
Don't know why,
And I don't know why, baby
[Chorus: x2]
