I don't wanna pretend
Don't wanna be your friend
I wanna be your baby, baby
I don't wanna pretend
Don't wanna be your friend

I can't deny that you've caught my eye

You don't have to try cause you're so fine

I wanna be your man
Just take me by the hand
I don't even care where we're going
As long as I'm with you the skies are always blue
The ticky tock of time stops flowing
