Lyrics

[Intro]

You got potential

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]

Oh, baby, you got potential

To uncover all my issues

I take pride in all I've been through

And I got you to give some thanks to

That's why I'm quick to put my guard up

And you so quick to build your walls up

This ain't a game I wanna play anymore

So can we leave it all behind us?

I can't, I took a one-way right to Philly

Pick up your line, I'm in your city

I'm at your door, open arms, no luggage

'Cause everything I need is with me

[Chorus]

I know we've been

Back and forth, back and forth again

I know we've been

'Round the world, 'round the world again

But, baby, you know it's safe here now

I'm here to hold you down

I know it's easier said than done

But, baby, you're secure with me now

[Chorus]

Oh, baby, you got potential

Back and forth, back and forth again

To uncover all my issues

I take pride in all I've been through

'Round the world, 'round the world again

And I got you to give some thanks to

That's why I'm quick to put my guard up

Back and forth, back and forth again

And you so quick to build your walls up

This ain't a game I wanna play anymore

'Round the world, 'round the world again, again

So can we leave it all behind us?

[Outro]

'Cause, baby, you got potential
