The Key

Have you back in my face
Rises past, past, past
Thou can't just get to my space
I know, gotta feel,
Some things seem so real
We got so much history
I heard you, I heard you,
I heard you, I heard you
You heard me
No we don't need their be
What I need's you here
You got so many issues
You got so many issues
You got so many issues
You got so many issues
So fast, so that you gave back my key
So fast, so that you gave back my key
So fast, so that you gave back my key
So fast, so that you gave back my key
So fast, so that you gave back my key
Baby don't go, baby don't go
Baby don't, baby don't go!!
Baby don't go, baby don't go
Baby don't leave me, leave me
So fast, so that you gave back my key
So fast, so that you gave back my key
So fast, so that you gave back my key
So fast, so that you gave back my key
You got so many issues
You got so many issues
You got so many issues
You got so many issues
So fast, so that you gave back my key
So fast, so that you gave back my key
So fast, so that you gave back my key
So fast, so that you gave back my key
