Lyrics

[Intro]
Ayy
Oh, oh
[Verse 1]
Layin' on the couch, I couldn't not stare
How'd I get so lucky? Got you right there
Lookin' like a movie when you don't care
And even then you reel me in
I know this is something you ain't used to
I ain't gonna hurt you like you used to
You got reservations, I'ma come through
And even then you reel me in
[PreChorus]
You love second guessing
Your every second and every move
You don't need to question
The feeling that I have for you
[Chorus]
Don't want you to wonder
I want you to know
I'm not like the others, I ain't gonna pick up and go
Don't want you to wonder
I want you to know
As long as I'm breathing
Just know that you're never alone
[PostChorus]
Don't want you to wonder
I want you to, I want you to, I want you to know
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) I want you to, I want you to know
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Verse 2]
I'd love to take a trip inside of your mind
Wonder what I see and what I might find
I wanna find the cheat codes underneath those
Pretty brown eyes, wanna know why
[PreChorus]
You love second guessing
Your every second and every move
You don't need to question
The feeling that I have for you
[Chorus]
Don't want you to wonder
I want you to know
I'm not like the others, I ain't gonna pick up and go
Don't want you to wonder
I want you to know
As long as I'm breathing
Just know that you're never alone
[PostChorus]
Don't want you to wonder (Wonder)
I want you to, I want you to, I want you to know
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) I want you to, I want you to know
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) Yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
You don't have to wonder, no
No, no, no, no
And you don't have to wonder, no
No, no, no, no
You don't have to wonder, no (You don't have to wonder)
No, no
I wanna find the cheat codes underneath those
Pretty brown eyes, oh, baby, I
[Chorus]
I want you to know
I'm not like the others, I ain't gonna pick up and go
Don't want you to wonder
I want you to know
As long as I'm breathing
Just know that you're never alone
[PostChorus]
Don't want you to wonder (Wonder)
I want you to, I want you to, I want you to know
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) I want you to, I want you to know
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) I want you to know
