Tell me your out, out with your friends
I'm waiting up
Don't really like that feeling
Nobody like's that feeling
I called your phone, you turned it off
So I called your friends
Don't wanna be a burden
Don't wanna be that person that constantly calls
All night, lying in my bed daydreaming
Thinking 'bout your body next to mine
All night, counting down every minute
I'm trying to play it cool but I won't lie
I really want your lovin' tonight
You not here is killing my pride
Just come over tell me you only want me by your side
I really need your lovin' tonight
Nobody else can make it alright
Just hold me and swear you'll never let me go
I want you to myself
Want you to myself
Just hold me and swear you'll never let me go
I want you tomyself
Don't waste my time
I do not lie
Throw in the dice
I'm guessing what you're saying
I like the games you're playing
'Cause when we're alone you can't let go
You whisper to me
I like the way you're feeling
You've never felt this feeling for someone before
All night, lying in my bed daydreaming
Thinking 'bout your body next to mine
All night, counting down every minute
I'm trying to play it cool but I won't lie
I really want your lovin' tonight
You not here is killing my pride
Just come over tell me you only want me by your side
I really need your lovin' tonight
Nobody else can make it alright
Just hold me and swear you'll never let me go
I want you to myself
Want you to myself
Just hold me and swear you'll never let me go
I want you to myself
Want you to myself
Just hold me and swear you'll never let me go
I want you to myself
I want I want yeah
You to myself yeah
I want I want yeah
I want you to my
I want I want yeah
You to myself yeah
I want I want yeah
I want to give you lovin' tonight
You not here is killing my pride
Just come over tell me you only want me by your side
I really need your lovin' tonight
Nobody else can make it alright
Just hold me and swear you'll never let me go
I want you to myself
Want you to myself
Just hold me and swear you'll never let me go
I want you to myself
Want you to myself
Just hold me and swear you'll never let me go
I want you to myself
