(Feat. Rihanna)
Aw, Aw, Aw, Rihanna
Ey, Ey Dreamer
Aw, Aw, Ey, Ey, Ey
I wanna tell the world that your my girl
And that i'm your man, Aw baby
And I wanna tell the world that you got me
Why can't we be, Aw baby
I can't put my name on your kiss
And I can't speak your name from these lips
We froze and nobody knows
Have to walk out the room everytime you call
Tellin everybody I ain't seen you in so long
It feels like i ain't breating
This feels worser than cheating
Cuz we out here livin' a lie,
Out here livin' a lie,
I'm out here livin' a lie,
Why what makes you smile seem to make you cry
I'm out here livin' a lie,
I'm out here livin' a lie,
We out here livin' a lie,
Behind these smiles I'm really hurting
Inside-side-side,Inside-side-side,
Inside-side-side,Inside-side-side
Everytime i wanna put us on display
Time takes a breathe, Aw Baby
I hear about other relationships that ain't true
I wanna set it right, Aw Baby
And i can't tell nobody how i feel, oh
And i can't tell nobody how we is, oh
I wanna hop on the first thing smokin
Tell our agent to book us a plane
I wanna be near you
I wanna be near you too
I wanna wake up (wake up)
Right next to you baby
Cuz we out here livin' a lie,
Out here livin' a lie,
I'm out here livin' a lie,
Why what makes you smile seem to make you cry
I'm out here livin' a lie,
I'm out here livin' a lie,
We out here livin' a lie,
Behind these smiles I'm really hurting
Inside-side-side,Inside-side-side,
Inside-side-side,Inside-side-side
Rihanna Baby, Dream Baby
What on this circ will we do?
Assume that i'm not a sume
And everything in this world has got us crazy
I'm so through, You too?, We Alone
What the worst that could happen baby if they know?
Won't be nothing,
Cuz your inpecable, your everything that i love
Cuz we out here livin' a lie,
Out here livin' a lie,
I'm out here livin' a lie,
Why what makes you smile seem to make you cry
We out here livin' a lie,
I'm out here livin' a lie,
We out here livin' a lie,
Behind these smiles I'm really hurting
Inside-side-side,Inside-side-side,
Inside-side-side,Inside-side-side
I wanna be with you
