Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mhmm, yeah
Ooh, ooh
My darling
Uh-huh
[Verse 2]
Girl, we've been the best of friends
I never want that feeling to end
But you've got to know what's been on my mind
'Cause I've been holdin' back, baby, for the longest time
[Verse 3]
Every night I lie alone in my bed
Pictures of me lovin' you runnin' 'round my head
Now, baby, it's time to let you know
That I want ya, and I need ya
And I never wanna let you go
[Verse 4]
What do I say?
What do I do?
Tell me, baby, just to get next to you, mhmm
What do I say?
What do I do?
Tell me, baby, just to get next to you
Oh, what do I say?
[Verse 5]
Maybe you'll turn and walk away
That's a chance that I've got to take
Said, I got to know, do you want me too?
'Cause I won't never be free
Baby, till I know the truth, yeah, yeah
[Verse 6]
We always talk about the good times that we had
But, girl, tonight, let's talk about what lies ahead
'Cause, babe, when I look into your eyes
I wanna touch ya, I wanna hug ya
I wanna love you for the rest of my life, baby
[Verse 7]
What do I say?
What do I do?
Tell me, baby, just to get next to you, I wanna know
What do I say?
What do I do, girl?
Tell me, baby, just to get next to you
Oh, what do I say?
[Verse 8]
And every night I lie alone in my bed
Pictures of me lovin' you runnin' round and round and round my head
And, babe, when I look into your eyes
I wanna touch ya, I wanna hug ya
I wanna love you for the rest of my life
[Verse 9]
What do I say?
What do I do, baby?
Tell me, baby, tell me, baby, just to get next to you, yeah
Oh, now what do I say?
What do I do?
Tell me, baby, just to get next to you, oh, baby
What do I say?
[Verse 10]
Ooh, ah, baby
What do I say?
