Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once the love, was strong
Now it's long, long gone
'Cause the pain came down like a storm
I remained, holding on
'Cause I want you, 'cause I want you
I want you, I want you
[Verse 2]
Uh-uh I been thinking about
I been thinking about
I been thinking about you lately
Thoughts take me to when we were close
Addicted to your love
I feel I need another dose
I know it's a feeling
That should be long gone
Things seem to come up
When I hear our song
Golden brown girl it seems so long
Since I heard your voice
Where did the King go wrong?
Emotions that-that they linger on
I guess 'cause I never knew a love so strong
So many hot girls
I need your warm
The taste of your mouth
Girl I need your warm
Good food and love
I need your warm
This here was made before we were born
A dreamer so I'ma keep dreaming on
It's kinda like the breakup of Jen and Vince Vaughn
[Verse 3]
Once the love, was strong
Now it's long, long gone
'Cause the pain came down like a storm
I remained, holding on
'Cause I want you, 'cause I want you
I want you, I want you
'Cause I want you, 'cause I want you
I want you, I want you
[Verse 4]
They say you don't know-know-know
What you got, till what you got is gone
Yeah I like such and such yo a lot
But the feelings not as strong
We were like two birds
That were able to fly
I try to pick the right words to say to the sky
Somedays I would try but wasn't able to climb
I never been good at saying goodbye
I take a deep breath when the times is hard
When I reminisce over you, my god
I spent many years trying to be the heartthrob
I guess it's only right that I got my heart robbed
The scent of a room that reminds me of you
A hint of perfume it reminds me of you
Take a look at the moon it reminds me of you
Hope the stars and the gods
Align me and you
[Verse 5]
Once the love was strong
Now it's long, long gone
'Cause the pain came down like a storm
I remained, holding on
'Cause I want you, 'cause I want you
I want you, I want you
'Cause I want you, 'cause I want you
I want you, I want you
[Verse 6]
We do what we do
And we do what we live
I love this way 'cause I got it as a kid
With so much to give from it
I never hid
The love that I wrote on the mirror
It got smeared
My friends say it was a change for the better
But I say, girl you changed my forever
Relationships they can be as strange as the weather
Rain or sun we can sing this together
[Verse 7]
'Cause I want you, 'cause I want you
I want you, I want you
'Cause I want you, 'cause I want you
I want you, I want you
[Verse 8]
