You said eight, but, babe
You're layin’ there like I wanted to see the sun
Daddy's girl
You lived the right way with the "Oh, my God"
The old, "I wouldn't usually stay", "I usually wait"
And pretty soon you'll be begging me don't stop!
And if your Mama says he ain't modest at all
And if your Daddy says he don't buy it all
And if wanna get yourself out of the door
Go 'head, girl
Get to know
Baby, I didn't know that Charlotte was an old girlfriend back then
How did you find out?
I guess she thought that she was all that
You should have heard her
It ain't surprising, baby
Ooo storming out like there’s a guy to go to!
I didn't know you had that in you!
You should bring that to the bedroom!
Nobody would see you
Nobody would feel you
Nobody would love you
Nobody could want you, taste you, save you, break you, make you like I do!
If you don’t stop believing, you don't stop believing
You don't stop believing that you gon' be leaving
I don't wanna sound so vain!
I don’t wanna be so vain!
And if your Mama says he ain't modest at all
And if your Daddy says he don't buy it all
And if wanna get yourself out of the door
Go 'head, girl
Get to know
And if your Mama says he ain't modest at all
And if your Daddy says he don't buy it all
And if wanna get yourself out of the door
Go 'head, girl
Get to know
Oh, baby, I'm just scared
That someone like you cares
I never thought that I could ever
Have something good that lasts forever
I promise that I'll change
I promise never again
Oh, baby, I'll go insane
Oh, please just stay
You are the one who makes me feel like nobody else
In front of you there's somebody new
(The one who makes me feel like nobody else)
Somebody who's true, somebody like you
(The one who makes me feel like nobody else)
Oh, baby, it hurts
I don't understand how every time you crumble
If you don’t stop believing, you don't stop believing
You don't stop believing that you gon' be leaving
I don't wanna sound so vain!
I don’t wanna sound so vain!
