Sitting here chillin’ with you (yeah)
You’re getting close boy
But I’m playing it cool (cool)
I must confess
I’m feeling you (feelin’ you)
But I’m laying down some rules
Get one thing straight
I won’t be played (no, no)
I don’t get down that way
[1] – You asked me once, I told you twice
When will you understand?
I asked my friends for their advice
They say “girl don’t give in”
In you and me, I believe
But I’m torn between
It’s getting too heavy for me
Baby why you stress me
Like that (why you wanna stress me boy?)
Talkin’ ’bout what you have done in the past (yeah)
I don’t take love so casually (mm-hmm)
So don’t put that pressure on me
Baby just walk right out the door (right out the door)
Cuz I’ve heard those lines before
[Repeat 1]
You’re telling me this would prove that I care
(It’s getting too heavy)
But if I waited baby, will you be there?
Will you be there?
There-er-er-er-errr
[Breakdown]
You know I like you boy
But you gotta understand
That I’m just not ready
Been real with you
But we gotta take our time (take our time)
And I’m torn between
I’m torn between
It’s getting too heavy for me
[Repeat 1]
For me
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Oh, oh, oh, oh
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Oh oh, oh oh
In you and me, I believe
But I’m torn between
It’s getting too heavy for me
It’s getting too heavy
Heavy, heavy, yeah
Don’t make me say it again
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
