Tellaman oh

They want me but I want you (ey)
God better take my life If I'm not telling the truth (ey)
My word Is all I got, all I got
But I'll never break It-o
Your heart I'll never break It-o (ey)
Baby look me In my face (ey)
Your precious time I'm not gone waste (ooh yeah, ey)
Wanna kiss on your neck while I grab on your waist now (ey)
Let's take our time this Is not a race (no, ey)
Tranquility Is what you bring (ey)
Your friends think this Is just a fling (ey)
They see you glowing It's not bling
If It's not you calling I'll let It ring (ring ring ring)

Cause they want me but I want you
God better take my life If I'm not telling the truth (ooh yeah)
My word Is all I got, all I got
But I'll never break It-o
Your heart I'll never break It-o


I don't wanna controll ya (oh yeah)
All I wan do is hold ya (oh yeah)
As long as you loyal (oh yeah)

Baby I swear, I swear, I swear
Baby I swear, I swear, I swear

Call the doctor I'm sick of It
When she's gone I wait for hours
I need a fix
It's your love that's got me powerless
Can't close my eyes when I see you baby
Come a little closer and save me
Diamonds In your eyes
No I don't want you to leave
Bring It back up please
Is it my time to suffer
Don't make It harder for me

They want me but I want you
God better take my life if I'm not telling the truth
My word is all I got, all I got
But I'll never break it-o
Your heart I'll never break it-o

I don't wanna controll ya
All I wan do is hold ya
As long as you loyal
I'll do anything for ya
I swear, I swear, I swear
I swear, I swear, I swear

They want me but I want you




Take my life If I'm not
