[Chorus:]
I write your name on my arm with India ink
Baby I told you once before it’s not what you think
I drink it in with a sip
But I really want to chug
You know I take what I can get
Give me a dub, now
[Bridge]
So good, so good
Come on now, I wish you would
Anytime I get together
Get to feeling like I could
I write your name on my arm with India ink
Baby I told you once before it’s not what you think
I drink it in with a sip
But I really want to chug
You know I take what I can get
Give me a dub, now
So good, so good
Come on now, I wish you would
Anytime I get together
Get to feeling like I could
[Chorus:]
Woah are you with me [Repeat: x1]
Woah is that the best you can give me
Woah are you with me
I write your name on my arm with India ink
Baby I told you once before it’s not what you think
I drink it in with a sip
But I really want to chug
You know I take what I can get
Give me a dub, now
You’re even cuter
When you get crossed
Just stamp on your foot
And try to be the boss
I write your name on my arm with India Ink
I’m hanging on every word cause the way that you think
Yes every misstep well it led me to you
I’ll do what I got to do to see it through
If you see a shooting star
Celebrate with a kiss
Won’t have to wait far
When no one will ever miss
[Chorus]
Woah are you with me [Repeat: x1]
Woah is that the best you can give me
Woah are you with me
I’d carve my name on my arm
But you’d be alarmed
That I did it
I admit it
A big swing and a miss
So I’ll keep my distance
Back in it
In a minute
[Chorus]
Woah are you with me [Repeat: x1]
Woah is that the best you can give me
Woah are you with me
Woah are you with me (name on my arm with India ink)
Woah are you with me (told you once before it’s not what you think)
Woah is that the best you can give me
Woah are you with me
(Name on my arm with India ink, baby I told you once before it’s)
