Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You wanna know if what I feel
Is undoubtedly the real thing
Does your touch give me chills
If you think I have no interest
In the things you say and do
Baby if you close this distance
I'm gonna prove to you that...
I'm ready... ready... ready...boy oh wanna play [?]
Baby come in... cause I got something I wanna say to you [?]
Gonna tell you whatcha wanna hear boy
And its oh so true
Ohhh
Do I like the way you're kissin me.

Been thinking bout it lately
And I wanna be your baby
Yes I do, I do, I do

You're afraid to let love start
Many pieces of this puzzle
