11AM
Saba Abraha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you make me say it twice
If I told you I need ya
Everyday of my life
Would you stay a little longer
Would you answer when I call ya
Do you mind
Do you mind
On my mind
I don't mean to be a bother
I just gotta know
If you really are about me
Just tell me so
If you are
If you're not
If you are
Then show some sign
I was aiming for the moon
Until I saw
It only shined It's light for you
I stand in awe
Over heavy days of blue
The only variable is you
Do you mind
Do you mind
Cause you been on my mind (repeat)
*End*
