Lyrics

How you get so fly
Girl you look so sweet
Chamo on my right, chamo on my left
Chamo over there, chamo everywhere
Told my jue, I ain’t going nowhere
Just so that I let you know
Girl I knew you were my type from the very, very stars
The minute when I paused, took a look into your eyes
The minute when I paused, took a look up
When I say I love you girl, loving someone is not easy girl
Promise not to ever let you go, girl I won’t let you go
When I say I love you girl, loving someone is not easy girl
Promise not to ever let you go (Take you to The Moon, baby)
Girl I won’t let you go
She makes me feel, like I’m in a dream
Early in the morning, all I want to see is you
Girl all I want to see
Girl I knew you were my type, from the very, very start
The minute when I paused took a look up (All I want to see)
When I say I love you girl, loving someone is not easy girl
Promise not to ever let you go, girl I won’t let you go
When I say I love you girl, loving someone is not easy girl
Promise not to ever let you go, girl I won’t let you go
Trying to chase the paper all day, you’ve been on my mind
Never hesitate to give it, when I hit your line
Over time never knew this, but you will always be mine
Three thousand miles away, I still give you my heart
Never be the same still falling apart, the more we come together
We falling apart, and it’s aching my heart, it’s breaking my heart
Chamo on my right, chamo on my left
Chamo over there, chamo everywhere
Told my jue, I ain’t going nowhere
Just so that I let you know
Girl I knew you were my type, from the very, very start
The minute when I paused, took a look into your eyes
The minute when I paused took a look up
When I say I love you girl, loving someone is not easy girl
Promise not to ever let you go, girl I won’t let you go
When I say I love you girl, loving someone is not easy girl
Promise not to ever let you go, girl I won’t let you go
How you get so fly, in them jeans
Girl you look so sweet, you making me want to
Fly you to my room (oooh)
Girl I will take you to The Moon (oooh)
Girl I knew you were my type from the very, very stars
The minute when I paused, took a look into your eyes
