Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baby, ooh, baby
Babe, baby
Ooh-ooh-hoo, baby
Ooh-ooh-hoo, baby
We need to, um, talk about where we're takin' this thing
How far we're gonna let this go
We've been here before, it's gettin' late
[Verse 2]
It's getting late
Why you gotta be here?
Beside me
Watching, needing, wanting me
I'm afraid, don't be
I'm afraid, don't be
I'm so scared that you'll hurt me twice, baby
[Verse 3]
Oh, baby, baby, baby
Listen, um, I've already been thinkin' about you
On my mind far too often for you to be here at this time
See, one hand's on nine and the other's on my thigh
Look, I've already played with the idea of you being here
In the morning and the position for the crack of dawn
And the conversations before the yawning
But, uh, it's getting late, it's getting late
[Verse 4]
It's getting late
Why you gotta be here?
Beside me
Watching, needing, wanting me
But I'm afraid, you say, "Don't be"
But I'm afraid, you say, "Don't be"
I'm so scared that you'll hurt me twice, baby
[Verse 5]
How's about I let you touch this space that you
Left behind the day that you stopped smiling
The day that the tears started falling
But now, we're talking, touching
Almost making sensual again
You can taste the familiar, 'cause the family hour supports it
Of this moment
But was led by your movements, 'cause, uh
It's getting late
[Verse 6]
It's getting late
Why you gotta be here?
Beside me
Watching, needing, wanting me
But I'm afraid, you say, "Don't be"
But I'm afraid, you say, "Don't be"
I'm so scared that you'll hurt me twice, oh, baby, baby, baby
Oh, baby, twice, baby, baby
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, babe-baby
Babe-babe-babe, baby, baby
Oh, baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Ooh, baby
I see the memories replayed
Same space, face, bodies
I know there's a method to your manliness
But, uh, I'm afraid
[Verse 7]
It's getting late
Why you gotta be here?
Beside me
Watching, needing, wanting me
But I'm afraid, you say, "Don't be"
But I'm afraid, you say, "Don't be"
I'm afraid that you're gonna hurt me, baby, baby, twice, baby
God, baby, baby, baby, twice, baby
Oh, baby, baby, baby
Oh-ho, baby
Baby, please
[Verse 8]
I see the memories replayed, same space, same face
Same bodies, baby, I know there's method to your manliness
But I'm afraid, babe
I see the memories replayed
Same space, same face, same bodies, baby
I know there's a method to your manliness
But I'm afraid, baby
Babe, baby
I'm afraid
Baby, don't hurt me
I'm about to cry
I'm about to cry for you, baby
Please don't hurt me, baby
I'm afraid, baby
Please don't hurt me, baby
I'm afraid baby
Don't hurt me, baby
Please don't hurt me, I'm afraid, baby
Please don't hurt me, baby
I'm afraid
Afraid, baby, baby, baby, babe
I'm afraid, it's getting late
