Lirik:
[Intro]
How you love me, love me so deep, can't believe
Feel it all, feel it all, feel it all over me (Ah)
[Verse 1]
You know, you know I’ll be down, down, down
You know I'll be down, down, down
You know I'll be way, way, way, way, way down
You know, you know I’ll be down, down, down
You know I'll be down, down, down, down
Way, way, way, way, way down
[Chorus]
They gon', they gon' have to come get me
They gon' have to see about me
To get next to you
They gon', they gon' have to call the law
I don't care what they offer, I’m protecting you
’Cause I never
Never, no, no, thought I could put anybody before me
So they gon', thеy gon’ have to come get mе
They gon' have to see about me to get next to you (Ooh, ah)
[Verse 2]
You're more than the sun, you're why the sun beams (Ooh, ah)
Your love is high, wide like a river
And if I die, I already fell and I’m floating (Safe in your arms)
Ooh, I know what it's like to feel like I'm dyin' in peace
Ho, ho-oh, oh-oh, I
I'll tell you all my secrets if you promise to keep us in love (In love, in love)
'Cause I need it badder than I needed air to breathe (Oh, oh, oh, no, no)
If you ain't around to catch me when I'm fallin'
I'ma fuck around and tat angel wings
On my back, just in case
If you ain't around when I'm around, I'ma fuck around and (Promise that)
[Chorus]
They gon', they gon' have to come get me
They gon' have to see about me to get next to you
They gon', they gon' have to call the law
I don't care what they offer, I'm protecting you
'Cause I never
Never, no, no, thought I could put anybody before me (No)
So they gon', they gon' have to come get me
They gon' have to see about me to get next to you
