Uh oh, Uh oh, Uh oh, Uh oh,
Honestly
If I tell, tell you what,
What you want to know love
There ain't another,
Don't want no other lover
I put nothing above ya.
I kick them to the gutter.
You try to shake me but wound up loving me crazy now
Look at us lately and tell them who's your lady
I'd never thought you'd be the one,
Make me shine brighter than the sun
There ain't no ups and downs,
No in and out to here right now.
If you want me to stay
I never leave
If you want me to stay
We'll always be
If you want me to stay
Love endlessly
If you want me to stay
If you want me to stay
I'll never leave you
Uh oh, Uh oh, Uh oh, Uh oh
Now all your loving that
We're happy it's a fact
Can't nothing hold us back.
We got this in the bag
There ain't no maybe
No questions ,love you daily now
Look at us lately and tell them who's your lady
I'd never thought you'd be the one,
Make me shine brighter than the sun
There ain't no ups and downs,
No in and out to here right now.
If you want me to stay
I never leave
If you want me to stay
We'll always be
If you want me to stay
Love endlessly
If you want me to stay
If you want me to stay
I'll never leave you

[@nikoneezy]

It's so strange. When you listen back to these old tracks you get hit with such a throwback - you can clearly see yourself at that time doing something while this track played and you feel so happy. Then at the same time you realize that time is gone and is never coming back again which makes you sad simultaneously. Nostalgia much, i know - but it's a weird emotion, ya feel me?

[@ChocolateMocha-nm7wl]

Lumidee is so underrated she’s needs to be re-recognized. Sis voice is so relaxing. This song is such a early 2000’s relaxing smooth bop. This song is giving me late 90’s and early 2000’s New York hiphop vibes. This song is such a early 2000’s nostalgia vibes. This song still makes me wanna early 2000’s hiphop dance. I miss smooth music like this from the early 2000’s. I wish we can go back into time from 2000-2005. When life was so relaxing without new technology. And without everything so high and going up in the stores. I can’t believe this song is 20 years old. Time just fly by to fast. I miss being a kid.❤❤❤❤❤❤
