Baby boy got your girl so deep in love (in love, in love)
You got me thinking about that ass on the wake up, uh
If only I could wake up, next to you
got me blushing, just imagining that things we would get into
When the thought of you and me arises ain't no limit to what we could be
sitting on the deck ...named after us, oho
If only you knew, if only you knew
I'd be with you, oho
If only you knew, only you knew
I'd be with you
I told myself next time I'll see ya
Just gonna make it happen
Thought I was ready but I saw you when I …
thinking myself cause I really need a boy like you
cause baby you so...
I see myself as your wonder woman and I can handle …
Till the day you'll get with me it won't be the last time
That you gave your heart away
When the thought of you and me arises ain't no limit to what we could be
picture us at a town clear water at a sandy beach
If only you knew, if only you knew, if you only knew
I'd be with you, oho
If only you knew, only you knew,
I'd be with you, you, you
Cause I'm other … only frost, only want you for what you got
Cause what I want for myself just believe that I can ...oh
but this friendship thing it's killing me
and boy it isn't that I am trying to be
cause where I wanna be is with you
and boy if you only knew, oho
If only you knew, if only you knew, if you only knew
I'd be with you, oho
If only you knew, only you knew
I'd be with you
If only you knew, only you knew
I'd be with you
Only baby if you knew, oh baby I'd be happy,
I'd be with you
If only you knew, if only you knew,
I'd be with you, oho
If only you knew, only you knew,
I'd be with, baby, I'd be, baby, oh, with.
