Expressions on your face easily explain, you're worried about the fame, I won't let it change us
And I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I won't tell you no lie-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e, 'cause baby you are stuck, you are stuck with me
Don't got everyday for how you were made, naturally engaged you don't need the make-up
(No, no)
Every curve and shape I could illustrate, your body on the page I could not eras-s-e-e love

And I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I won't tell you no lie-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e, 'cause baby you are stuck, you are stuck with me
But you know that you are always on my mind and to tell you the truth will I'll be liein' if I didn't tell you baby you know I'm in this for life
(and if I lie)
'Cause baby you are stuck, you are stuck, you are stuck with me
Open up the shades sun is on the way-y-y.
The lyrics to Timeflies's song Stuck With Me suggest a sense of comfort and reassurance between two people in a relationship. The opening lines "Open up the shades, sun is on the way, come over here and lay, what are you afrai-d of" show a sense of calmness and security between the couple. The singer reassures their partner that they are not worried about fame and that it won't change their relationship. The chorus "I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I won't tell you no lie-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e, 'cause baby you are stuck, you are stuck with me" highlights the loyalty and commitment in their relationship.
