Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ooh (Can't hear myself)
No, no (Can you please turn me up a little bit more?)
[Verse 2]
I was a little different
I didn't do what the fast girls do
You studied my rhythm
Now you can speed me up when you want to, ooh, ooh
[Verse 3]
They were too cool to run my race
You kept the pace with a smile on your face
Go ahead baby (Go on, baby)
Then I knew it was you (Then I knew it was you)
[Verse 4]
But first you took me around
Introduced me to your family and friends
And told them how once we met that we would never lose
Oh boy
[Verse 5]
I decided that you are the him for me, I decided, oh boy
Because I decided that you are the him for me, yes you are, oh my boy
[Verse 6]
How's it feel win it?
When ain't no mountains that you can't move
Your mind is like a prism
For God's light to shine through, ooh, ooh
[Verse 7]
They were cool to run my race (Yeah)
You kept the pace with a smile on your face
Go ahead, baby (Go ahead, baby)
Then I knew it was true, then I knew it was you
[Verse 8]
But first you took me around
Introduced me to your family and friends
And told them how once we met that we would never lose
(Never lose, never lose)
Oh boy
[Verse 9]
I decided that you are the him for me, oh boy
Because I decided that you are the him for me, oh my boy
[Verse 10]
You were runnin' me, runnin' me down
Telling me, telling me wait
Runnin' me down and telling me
You were never gonna let go is the way you got me
(The way you got me, the way you got me, baby)
(Oh, now you got me, baby)
[Verse 11]
You were runnin' me, runnin' me down
Telling me, telling me wait (Telling me, telling me wait)
Runnin' me down and telling me
You were never gonna let go is the way you got me
[Verse 12]
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (Don't break my heart)
Let me take it from you (Let me take it from you)
('Cause we're one)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (And the closer I get to you)
(The more fearful I become)
(That's break me in two) That'll break me in two, honey
[Verse 13]
Because I decided that you are the him for me, oh my boy
You were runnin' me, runnin' me down
Telling me, telling me wait
Runnin' me down and telling me
You were never gonna let go is the way you got me
That's the way you got me, baby
That's the way you got me, baby...
