Lyrics
[Intro]
There's always that one person that will always have your heart
You never see it comin' 'cause you're blinded from the start
Know that you're that one for me, it's clear for everyone to see
Ooh, baby, oh
Yeah
You gotta rock away to this one (You will always be my boo)
See I don't know about y'all, but I know about us
And uh, it's the only way we know how to rock
I don't know about y'all, but I know about us (Oh)
And uh, it's the only way we know how to rock
[Verse 1]
Do you remember, girl, I was the one who gave you your first kiss?
'Cause I remember, girl, I was the one who said, "Put your lips like this"
Even before all the fame and people screamin' your name
Girl, I was there and you were my baby
[Chorus]
It started when we were younger, you were mine
My boo (My boo)
Now another brother's taken over, but it's still in your eyes
My boo
Even though we used to argue, it's alright (It's alright, girl)
My boo (That's okay)
I know we haven't seen each other in a while, but you will always be my boo
[Chorus]
I was in love with you when we were younger, you were mine
My boo (My boo)
When I see you from time to time, I still feel like
My boo (That's my baby)
And you can see it no matter how I try to hide
My boo (I can't hide it)
And even though there's another man who's in my life, you will always be my boo (In my life)
[Verse 2]
Yes, I remember, boy
'Cause after we kissed, I could only think about your lips
Yes, I remember, boy
The moment I knew you were the one I could spend my life with
Even before all the fame and people screamin' your name
I was there, and you were my baby
[Chorus]
It started when we were younger, you were mine (You were my)
My boo
Now another brother's taken over, but it's still in your eyes (Still in your eyes)
My boo (Yes, it is)
Even though we used to argue, it's alright
My boo (It's alright, it's okay)
I know we haven't seen each other in a while, but you will always be my boo (Uh)
[Chorus]
I was in love with you when we were younger, you were mine (You were my)
My boo (You were my boo)
And I see it from time to time, I still feel like (Ooh, yeah)
My boo (Still in your eyes)
And you can see it no matter how I try to hide (It's alright now)
My boo (It's okay)
And even though there's another man who's in my life, you will always be my boo ('Though we haven't seen each other, you will always be my)
[Bridge]
Oh, my, oh, my, oh, my, oh, my
My boo
My, oh, my, oh, my, oh, my, oh
My boo
[Chorus]
It started when we were younger, you were mine
My boo (You were my)
Now another brother's taken over, but it's still in your eyes
My boo
Even though we used to argue, it's alright (It's alright)
My boo (It's okay)
I know we haven't seen each other in a while, but you will always be my boo
[Outro]
I don't know about y'all, but I know about us
And uh, it's the only way we know how to rock (Uh)
I don't know about y'all but I know about us (Uh, oh, uh)
And uh, it's the only way we know how to rock (Yeah)
Started when we were younger, my boo
Another brother's taking over
