If I can't have you right here in front of me
If that's not you knocking at my door
I don't want nobody's body on me
Want it to be yours, yeah

If it's not you looking straight into my eyes
I swear that I'm not breathing anymore
I don't want nobody's body on me
Want it to be yours

'Cause don't you know I'm falling
Falling
With my hands here by my side
Can't you hear me calling
