Lyrics

[Intro]

(You should be here)

You should be here with me, baby

You should be here with me, baby

(You should be here)

Girl, you know you drive me crazy

Girl, you know you drive me crazy

(You should be here)

You should be here with me, baby

(Oh-oh, ooh, girl, I wish you were here)

I just wanna drive you crazy

[Verse 1]

You should be here in the mornin' time when I'm makin' my breakfast

You should be here beneath me to feel me, to heal me

You should be here (You should be here) to wrap me, to trap me (To trap me) and climb me (Climb me)

You should be here, I'm a good man and I work hard on my night job

[Chorus]

(You should be here)

Let me show you what you're missin' every day

(You should be here)

Once I get you, you ain't never gonna walk away

(You should be here)

Well, I got more than just a big stick and some money

(Ooh, girl, I wish you were here, oh, oh)

You should be here, you should be here (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2]

You should be here in the evenin'

Get to sleazin', and teasin'

Forget your reasons

Why you should not

Oh, lady, you should see the tricks that I got

Oh, for you, mama (Oh)

Especially here

Be my lady

Let's get lazy

And make babies

Oh

[Chorus]

(You should be here)

Let me show you what you're missin' every day, yeah (Oh)

(You should be here)

Once I get you, you ain't never gonna walk away, yeah

(You should be here)

See, I got more than just some good dick and some money

(Ooh, girl, I wish you were here)

You should be here, you should be here

('Cause I don't like bein' lonely)

[Refrain]

You should be here with me, baby (Uh)

You should be here with me, baby

Girl, you know you drive me crazy (Yeah)

Girl, you know you drive me crazy

You should be here with me, baby (Uh)

You should be here with me, baby

I just wanna drive you crazy (Yeah)

I just wanna drive you crazy

[Bridge]

You should be here

Oh, yeah (Oh, yeah, yeah)

You should be here

Oh-oh-oh, yeah

You should be here

Oh-oh-oh, yeah

Ooh, girl, I wish you were here

I wish you were here with me, baby

Girl, I wish you were here

[Chorus]

(You should be here)

Now, you don't know what you are missin' every day (You don't know, oh, yeah)

(You should be here)

Well, in my dreams last night I think I had you every way (Oh-oh)

(You should be here)

Well, I got more than just a big stick and some money (I got more, yeah)

(Ooh, girl, I wish you were here, yeah)

You should be here, you should be here, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Outro]

Said, I really want you, babe (I said I really want you, babe)

Said, I really want you, babe (Wish you were here with me)

Said, I really want you, babe

Said, I really want you, babe (Oh, really, really want you alone with me)

Said, I really want you, babe

Said, I really want you, babe (Said, I really want you alone with me)

Said, I really want you, babe, hey, hey
