Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We cool right
Nah I mean we go back
You know back before the records
Before you went to college and became this person who you are
Oh congratulations on that anyway too
But for a long time there's been something I need to tell you
Listen
You see we've been knowing each other since we were about this high
Same elementary shred the same bus stop
Even as a youngster I knew you was so fly
Even back then I knew you were the one
I watched your grow
I watched your transformation
Right through school to your current occupation
It took this long for me to man up and have this conversation
But fuck it here it go
I want you
To want me
Girl I need to know that
I can be your one and only
I need you
To need me
See you were my worst mistake girl
And that's why
It's hard to keep my cool when I see you with him
'Cause I really wish that you were right here
Tell me what's it take to win just a
Piece of your heart
My only kryptonite is you
That's why anything you say I'll do
So let me stop for a minute
Take a second to say
Girl you take my breath away a way
Girl you take my breath away
(Girl you take my breath away girl you take my breath away)
They say one man's trash is the next man's treasure
Where one finds pain the next might find pleasure
I don't pay attention to them haters now or never
I don't give a damn who was before me
All that matters is you're with me now
All I need to know is that you're down
Man it's something special about round the way ladies
Ride or die baby girl
I want you
To want me
Girl I need to know that
I could be your one and only
I need you
To need me
See you were my worst mistake girl
And that's why
It's hard to keep my cool when I see you with him
'Cause I really wish that you were right here
Tell me what's it take to win just a
Piece of your heart
My only kryptonite is you
That's why anything you say I'll do
So let me stop for a minute
Take a second to say
Girl you take my breath away a way
Girl you take my breath away
(Girl you take my breath away girl you take my breath away)
Yeah on the real let me tell you something
It's like I die a little every time I see you with this guy
Thinking to myself
Now why the hell she with that guy
While she ain't by my side
We would be so fly
We would live that life
The life you used to dream is all about rapping
Back when I used to pull my BMX up alongside of your Schwinn
See and here we are again
Funny how fate brought my Phantom up alongside of your Benz
And still
I want you (I want you)
To want me (To want me)
Girl I need to know that
I could be your one and only
I need you (I need you)
To need me (To need me)
See you were my worst mistake girl
And that's why
It's hard to keep my cool when I see you with him
'Cause I really wish that you were right here
Tell me what's it take to win just a
Piece of your heart
My only kryptonite is you
That's why anything you say I'll do
So let me stop for a minute
Take a second to say
Girl you take my breath away a way
Girl you take my breath away
(Girl you take my breath away girl you take my breath away)
Hey yeah so I mean like I said
You know we been knowing each other for a long time
You seen me go through
I seen you got through
We here now and
I just thought I'd tell you that
So you got my number as you got me email
You know everything
So I guess the next message I get from you
Will let me know what you think about this right here alright
Alright get home safe
