Lyrics
Sometimes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You tell me you're in love with me
Like you can't take your pretty eyes away from me
It's not that I don't wanna stay
But every time you come too close, I move away
I wanna believe in everything that you say
'Cause it sounds so good
But if you really want me, move slow
There's things about me you just have to know
Sometimes I run, sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you
But all I really want is to hold you tight
Treat you right, be with you day and night
Baby, all I need is time
I don't wanna be so shy, uh, uh
Every time that I am alone, I wonder why
Hope that you will wait for me
You'll see that you're the only one for me
I wanna believe in everything that you say
'Cause it sounds so good
But if you really want me, move slow
There's things about me, you just have to know
Sometimes I run (sometimes), sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you
But all I really want is to hold you tight
Treat you right, be with you day and night
All I really want is to hold you tight
Treat you right, be with you day and night
Baby, all I need is time
Just hang around and you'll see
There's nowhere I'd rather be
If you love me, trust in me
The way that I trust in you
Sometimes I run (sometimes), sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you (oh, oh, oh)
But all I really want is to hold you tight (hold you tight)
Treat you right, be with you day and night (day and night)
Sometimes I run (sometimes), sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you (oh, oh, oh)
But all I really want is to hold you tight (hold you tight)
Treat you right, be with you day and night (day and night)
All I really want is to hold you tight
Be with you day and night
Sometimes I run (sometimes), sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you
But all I really want is to hold you tight
