Sweat
Tony Thompson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you and I could swing it all day
If I could just imagine, for a moment (Me and you, baby)
I need your love so swing it my way, and we can go to Heaven
You've taken my heart in every way
You're making me sweat and I like what I'm feeling
'Cause you're meaning so much to my world, and it's the scene
Just to see your smile again
Girl, help me sing...
I send you roses every day
And baby we can count them, it's just a notion
(Of my heart)
Call anytime, don't matter how late
And I'll pick up the phone, girl
Can't front, 'cause you know you've got me open
You're making me sweat and I like what I'm feeling
(Girl, you're making me sweat)
So I hope you will understand (I've gotta make you understand)
'Cause you're meaning so much to my world, and it's the scene
Just to see your smile againI will...
I will (Someday) someday
I will have to with you (Won't you swing my way)
Whatever you need is just a price I'll pay
You found the right person (So glad I found you)
You found the right person (So glad I found you)
Help me break it down...
You're making me sweat and I like what I'm feeling
So I hope you will understand (I hope you will understand)
'Cause you're meaning so much to my world, and it's the scene
Just to see your smile again
I wanna see you smile...
Girl, you're making me sweat (I wanna sweat with you, baby)
