So you figure that you’ve got him all figured out
He’s a sweet talkin stud
Who can melt a girl’s heart with his pout
He’s the kind of lover that the ladies dream about
He’s got plenty of cash
He’s got plenty of friends
He drives women wild
Then he drives off in a mercedes-benz
He’s got a long wick with a flame at both ends
He’s hot
But don’t let him go
Just give him a chance to grow
Take it easy, take it slow
And don’t let him go
He makes you so angry
He makes you so sore
The weight may be worth it
But how can you wait anymore
When you’re wonderin what you’re waitin’ for
Baby I don’t know
But don’t let him go
He just needs a chance to grow
Take it easy, take it slow
And don’t let him go
Don’t let him go
You should’ve seen by the look in my eyes, baby
There was somethin missin
You should’ve known by the tone of my voice, maybe
But you didn’t listen
You played dead
But you never bled
Instead you lay still in the grass
All coiled up and hissin
And though I know all about those men
Still I don’t remember
Cause it was us baby, way before then
And we’re still together
And I meant, every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever
[Chorus:]
And I’m gonna keep on lovin you
Cause it’s the only thing I wanna do
I don’t wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin you
[Solo]
And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you I meant
That I love you forever
[Chorus]
I saw you at midnight, in a dream that I had.
From nowhere, you stood there, and you seemed so sad.
And a vicious decision is drivin’ me mad.
Should I follow my head, or follow my heart?
You were different, indifferent, unbelievably cool.
I approached you, to show you, that I’m nobody’s fool.
And an error, caused terror, as I sensed your dare.
Should I follow my head, or follow my heart?
Should I follow my head, or follow my heart?
You’ve got the lead, baby I’ve got a start.
Should I follow my head?
Should I follow my heart?
Should I follow my head, or my heart?
Follow my heart.
In your letter ooh in your letter
In your letter ooh in your letter
In your letter ooh in your letter
In your letter ooh in your letter
In your letter you said you didn’t love me
You said you’re gonna leave me
But you could’ve said it better
Oh in your letter, you said you couldn’t face me
You said you could replace me
But you could’ve said it better
You could’ve left him only
For an evening let him be lonely
But you hid behind your poison pen and his pride
You could’ve told him something
And proved to me you don’t love him
But you hid behind your future full of lies
[Instrumental bridge]
You could’ve left him only
For an evening let him be lonely
But you hid behind your poison pen and his pride
You could’ve told him something
And proved to me you don’t love him
But you hid behind your future full of lies
In your letter you said you didn’t love me
You said you’re gonna leave me
But you could’ve said it better
Oh in your letter, you said you couldn’t face me
You said you could replace me
But you could’ve said it better
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin’ around
They say you got a boy friend
You’re out late every weekend
They’re talkin’ about you and it’s bringin’ me down
But I know the neighborhood
And talk is cheap when the story is good
And the tales grow taller on down the line
But I’m telling you, babe
That I don’t think it’s true, babe
And even if it is keep this in mind
[Refrain:]
You take it on the run baby
If that’s the way you want it baby
Then I don’t want you around
I don’t believe it
Not for a minute
You’re under the gun so you take it on the run
You’re thinking up your white lies
You’re putting on your bedroom eyes
You say you’re coming home but you won’t say when
But I can feel it coming
If you leave tonight keep running
And you need never look back again
[Refrain x3]
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from a friend who
Heard it from another you been messin’ around
