Lyrics
[Intro]
It's just a fly love song, what
It's just a fly love song, what
[Verse 1]
Are we living in a dream world?
Are your eyes still green, girl?
I know you're sick and tired of arguing
But you can't keep it bottled in
Jealousy, we got to swallow it
Your heart and mind, baby, follow it
Smile, happiness, you could model it
And when you feel opposite
I just want you to know
Your whole being is beautiful
I'ma do the best I can do
'Cause I'm my best when I'm with you
[Chorus]
Come close to me, baby
Let your love hold you
I know this world gets crazy
What's it without you? (Nothing, nothing)
[Verse 2]
Put down your bags, love
I know in the past, love
Has been sort of hard on you
But I see the God in you
I just want to nurture it
Though this love may hurt a bit
We dealing with this water love
You even give my daughter love
I want to build a tribe with you
Protect and provide for you
Truth is, I can't hide from you
The pimp in me may have to die with you
[Chorus]
Come close to me, baby (Come close to me, baby)
Let your love hold you (Let your love hold you)
I know this world gets crazy
What's it without you? (But it's nothing without you, my baby, baby)
[Bridge]
I know what you're thinking, you're on my mind
You're right, you're right, you're right
You're running so fast, you just might take flight (Slow down a bit, baby)
Hope you're not tired, tonight, tonight (Hope you're not tired tonight, oh, oh)
[Verse 3]
You help me to discover me
I just want you to put trust in me
I kind of laugh when you cuss at me
The aftermath is you touching me
It's destiny that we connected, girl
You and I, we can affect the world
I'm tired of the fast lane
I want you to have my last name
[Chorus]
Come close to me, baby
Let your love hold you (Let me hold you tonight, baby)
I know this world gets crazy (It gets crazy, but I will be right here)
What's it without you? (We gonna make it, I, I love you, I love you, I love you)
[Bridge]
I know what you're thinking, you're on my mind (I know)
You're right, you're right, you're right
You're running so fast, you just might take flight
Hope you're not tired, tonight, tonight
[Bridge]
I know what you're thinking, you're on my mind
You're right
You're running so fast, you just might take flight
[Outro]
I know what you're thinking, you're on my mind
You're right, you're right, you're right
You're running so fast, you just might take flight
Hope you're not tired
