ohhhh
[spoken:] I can't hear myself
ooo
[spoken:] can you please turn me up a little bit more
I was a little different
I didn't do what the fast girls do
study my rhythm
you can speed me up when you want to, oooh
They were to cool to run my race
You kept the pace with a smile on ya face
Go head baby (go head baby)
Then I knew he was you (then i knew he was you)
But first you took me around
Introduced me to your family and friends
And told them how that once we met that
We would never lose
Oh boy
I decided that you are the him for me
Oh boy
Because.
I decided that you are the him for me
Oh my boy
How's it feel to win it
Where ain't no mountains that you can't move
Your mind is like a prism
For god's light to shine through
They were to cool to run my race (Yeah)
You kept the pace with a smile on ya face
Go head baby (go head baby)
Then I knew it was true (Then I knew it was you)
But first you took me around
Introduced me to your family and friends
And told them how that once we met that
We would never lose (never lose never lose)
Oh boy
I decided that you are the him for me
Oh boy
Because..
I decided (I decided)
that you are the him for me (u are the one for me baby)
Oh my boy (OHH Boy)
You were running me running me down (down)
Telling me telling me wait (wait)
Running me down and telling me you were never gonna let go
Is the way you got me
(ohh thats the way u got me when u got me baby ohh now u got me baby)
You were running me running me down (running)
Telling me telling me wait (tellin me tellin me wait)
Running me down and telling you were never gonna let go
Is the way you got me
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Baby, don't break my heart
Whoa..
Let me take it from you (let me take it from you)
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby (baby)
Cause we're one and the closer I get to you
The more fearful I become
That would break me in two Honey (that would break me in two honey)
Because..
I decided that you are the him for me
Oh my boy
(Yes)
You were running me running me down (running me running me down)
Telling me telling me wait
Running me down and telling you were never gonna let go
(yeah yeah thats the way u you got me baby
that's the way you got me baby)
You were running me running me down
Telling me telling me wait
Running me down and telling you were never gonna let go
Is the way you got me
