Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On the other side of a street I knew
Stood a girl that looked like you
I guess that's déjà vu
But I thought this can't be true 'cause
You moved to west LA, or New York or Santa Fe
Or wherever to get away from me
[PreChorus]
Oh, but that one night was more than just right
I didn't leave you 'cause I was all through
Oh, I was overwhelmed and frankly, scared as hell
Because I really fell for you
[Chorus]
Oh, I swear to you, I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me, everything is groovy
They don't like it, sue me, mmm, the way you do me
Oh, I swear to you, I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
[Verse 2]
On the upside of a downward spiral
My love for you went viral
And I loved you every mile you drove away
But now, here you are again
So let's skip the, how you been, and
Get down to the, more than friends, at last
[PreChorus]
Oh, but that one night is still the highlight
I didn't need you until I came to
And I was overwhelmed and frankly, scared as hell
Because I really fell for you
[Chorus]
Oh, I swear to you, I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me, everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me, mmm, the way you do me
Oh, I swear to you, I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
[Bridge]
Please believe that when I leave
There's nothing up my sleeve but love for you
And a little time to get my head together, too
[Bridge]
On the other side of a street I knew
Stood a girl that looked like you
I guess that's déjà vu
But I thought this can't be true 'cause
[Chorus]
Oh, I swear to you, I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two ply
Hefty bag to hold my love
When you move me, everything is groovy
They don't like it sue me, mmm, the way you do me
Oh, I swear to you, I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
