Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Boy you just aint the type, that a girl gon hit once or twice,
gonna sing you all my slow jams.
So come put your arms around this good love you've finally found, and teach me how to slow dance
Cause I'm running out of breath, from moving to fast I need you to put the breaks on
My hand fits in yours like key and lock, I'll meet you after school at three o'clock
You make me see that nobody knows me better
and it's all I ever wanted, you can finally call me your girl
I'd be with you every day if I could
I know that you and I got something good, good
and when we kiss I love it when you touch my face
and I hate to see you go but I love to watch you walk away
My hand fits in yours like key and lock, I'll meet you after school at three o'clock
You make me see that nobody knows me better
and I still can't wrap my head around us bein' together
and it's all I ever wanted, you can finally call me your girl
And I'll teach you how, how to love like I do
And you'll show me how, to forgive, like you
My hand fits in yours like key and lock,
I'll meet you after school at three o'clock
You made me see that nobody knows me better
and I still can't wrap my head around us bein' together
And it's all I ever wanted, it's all I ever wanted,
it's all I ever wanted, you can finally call me your girl
