Off The Porch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You say you wanna be my baby
No, I ain't got the time lately
I hope you don't think I'm shady
You know I always come back to you
You know I always come back to you
You know, you know, you know!
I'm in love with you
You know I always come back to you
And we can kick it real slow
Or we can move it real fast, yeah
However you want it baby
We can make it last
We can kick it real slow
Or we could move it real fast, yeah
However you want it baby
We can make it last
I been stressing
And I been fighting
And I been eating potatoes for dinner
This ain't much of a winter but we
Could act like it is and cuddle
Take it back, take it back to you
Coming back, coming back to you
You say
You say you'd be mine
You said you'd be my girl
You said you'd be my baby
I'll be your baby
I'll be your baby
I'll be yours
Yeah, I'll be your baby
I'll be your your baby
Say you'll be my girl
