Lyrics

I, oh, I

I, I do

I wanna smoke blunts with you (music)

I wanna get drunk with you, I do

I wanna be next to you, I do, mm

I wanna be next to you, I do

I can't even lie

You're the only one that's on my mind

And I can't wait to see you after school

Follow me and we gon' break the rules

I can't even fly

You're the only one that gets me high

We go back like no one creates the biz, ay

And when you see the you know what it is

So bring it back now

I wanna take walks with you, I do

Walk with you (I do)

I wanna just talk with you, talk with you (talk with you)

Where are they, are they, are they?

I wanna be next to you

I wanna be next to you, I do

I can't think without you

I can't think without you (think, think)

I can't think without you (cannot at all)

I can't think without you, baby-girl

Can't think without-

Are we done?

And where are we flying? You get up

(Bright lights on a desk that's far away)

Can't think without-

Are we done?

And where are we flying? You get up

(Bright lights on a desk that's far away)

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da (back to where she choose, ay)

I can't even lie

You're the only one that's on my mind

And I can't wait to see you after school

Follow me and we gon' break the rules
