Lyrics[]
[Intro]
Ah-hah-ha
(All my ladies)
(All my ladies)
(All my ladies)
(Make noise)
Ah-hah-ha
(All my ladies)
(All my ladies)
(All my ladies)
(Make noise)
[Verse 1]
You know what I want
I know what you don't
I should be
The one you love, oh
Boy, you got my mind
Playing truth or dare
Daring me to kiss
You right here
[Pre-Chorus]
Though we've been
Friends so long
And it seems so wrong
And everyone can see
You're perfect for me
But I just can't let it show-ohohohoh
[Chorus]
I been thinking about you
Boy, it's killing me
And I got to let you know
Baby, tell me, do you feel it
Like I do?
'Cause we both know what could go
Down if we get too close
Ah-hah-ha
But if we get too close
Ah-hah-ha
Down if we get too close
[Verse 2]
Remember that girl
That you used to date?
She with my ex-boyfriend
That's great
So, what would you do?
What would you say?
If I said I loved you?
That way?
[Pre-Chorus]
Though we've been friends so long
And it seems so wrong
And everyone can see
You're perfect for me
But I just can't let it show, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
I been thinking about you
Boy, it's killing me
And I got to let you know
Baby, tell me, do you feel it
Like I do?
'Cause we both know what could go
Down if we get too close
Ah-hah-ha
But if we get too close
Ah-hah-ha
Down if we get too close
[Bridge]
(All my ladies)
(All my ladies)
(All my ladies)
(Make noise)
(All my ladies)
(All my ladies)
(All my ladies)
(Make noise)
(All my ladies)
(All my ladies)
(All my ladies)
(Make noise)
(All my ladies)
(All my ladies)
(All my ladies)
(Make noise)
[Break]
But I just can't let it show
Oh, oh oh
[Chorus]
I been thinking about you
Boy, it's killing me
And I got to let you know
Baby, tell me, do you feel it
Like I do?
'Cause we both know what could go Down if we get too close
Ah-hah-ha
But if we get too close
Ah-hah-ha
Down if we get too close
Ah-hah-ha
But if we get too close
Ah-hah-ha
Down if we get too close
