Ooh
Take a dirty picture, babe
I can't sleep and I miss your face
In my hands and in my knees
Tell me what you wanna do to me
Tell me what you'll do, please
I don't wanna be alone
Don't wanna be alone anymore
Ooh
Ooh
You got quiet on the other line
Said the sun was comin' up, and I
Laughed until I couldn't breathe
Now I'm too tired to go to sleep
Now I can't breathe and I can't sleep
I don't wanna be stoned
I don't wanna be stoned anymore
I don't wanna be alone
Don't wanna be alone anymore, mm
I've got a good feeling
I've got a good feeling
It doesn't happen very often
Ooh
Ooh

on Ask Me To
Well I am tired, f being sad
I feel it when I wake up
And it just stays bad
Hits me like a sickness
A steamroller
And it makes me wanna lay down
and get run over
But then I see you, always smiling
Makes me wanna touch you
and keep from dying
Chorus:
You’re a, brother to me
you’re my partner in crime
You’re the feeling I get
when I’m feeling fine
And part of me wants you,
but most of me needs you
so i wont fall, unless you ask me to
We talked for hours
Untill finally
the sleep takes over
the enphedomine
and in the darkness
I feel your fingers
they don’t touch me
but there’s a danger
You’re a, brother to me
you’re my partner in crime
You’re the feeling I get
when I’m feeling fine
And part of me wants you,
but most of me needs you
so i wont fall, unless you ask me
You’re a, brother to me
you’re my partner in crime
You’re the feeling I get
when I’m feeling fine
And part of me wants you,
but most of me needs you
so i wont fall, unless you ask me to
