Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You know what baby
I need to tell you something
And
It's something very important, you know
I want you to take this time out and just listen
And hold me close
You hear me?
Listen
[Verse 2]
Can I have you for a minute? Don't get shy 'cause my heart's in it
(When I say) you got me strung out
I don't know and I can't call it, but whatever it is, you've got it
Nah babe, without a doubt, yeah
[Verse 3]
Never been the one to cling, and I don't like to be needed
(But now) I guess that's all changed
That's why I get mad at your folks 'cause I don't want you to go
(Nah babe) I want you to stay
[Verse 4]
You can say I'm trippin', but I'm stingy, and I can't hide it
I just wanna keep you all to me, I'm selfish, why try to fight it?
(I just wanna keep you warm, yeah)
Baby, you're the only one with the only love
(Baby, you're the only one, yeah)
That's strong enough to claim me (Come on)
So please forgive me, I'm just stingy, but how can you blame me?
(Please, listen)
[Verse 5]
Baby, tell me how you do it, 'cause you got me so into it
I'm gone, but I don't understand
So amazin', captivatin', elevatin', any way you try to put it
I wanna be your man, so if you (If you wanna put me on)
I don't mind, it's alright, I'm for it, I would so adore it
Nothin' turns me on more than bein' with you baby, I'm not trippin'
[Verse 6]
You can say I'm trippin', but I'm stingy, and I can't hide it
(No, I ain't, no, I just wanna keep you)
I just wanna keep you all to me I'm selfish, why try to fight it?
(Ah, yes I do, baby, you're the only one)
Baby, you're the only one with the only love
That's strong enough to claim me (Oh, yes you are)
So please forgive me I'm just stingy but how can you blame me?
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 7]
Do what you want, anything, anything
(Oh, anything, I'm all yours, yes I am)
I will belong 'cause you can do no wrong (Can do no wrong)
Everything, everything, I do because I'm so wide open
[Verse 8]
No jokin', you got me right where you want me to be
I just hope you feel the same, 'cause I don't want nothin' to change
This is where I wanna be
So if you wanna put me on
I don't mind, it's alright, I'm for it, I would so adore it
Nothin' turns me on better than bein' with you, baby, I'm not trippin'
[Verse 9]
You can say I'm trippin' (Hey), but I'm stingy, and I can't hide it
Wanna keep you all to me, I'm selfish, why try to fight it?
(All to me, yes I do, why try to fight it, oh, why, why, why, why?)
You're the only one with the only love
That's strong enough to claim me (Strong enough to claim me)
So please, forgive me, I'm just stingy, but how can you blame me?
[Verse 10]
You can say I'm trippin', but I'm stingy, and I can't hide it
(Sure, do what you want, but baby, don't you be)
Wanna keep you all to me I'm selfish, why try to fight it?
(All I wanna do is keep you all, all I want is next to me)
You're the only one, you're the only love (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
That's strong enough to claim me (That's strong enough to claim me)
So please forgive me I'm just stingy but how can you blame me?
(Please, forgive me, baby, ooh)
