Lyrics:

Hey baby and I’m thinking of you
Hey baby and I’m thinking of you
Hey baby and I’m thinking of you
Hey baby and I’m staying witchu
Oh yeah, alright

Hey baby let’s get away let’s go somewhere huh
Baby, can we
Keep this thing on lowdown
Nobody has to know now
Hey baby let’s get away let’s go somewhere huh
Baby, can we
Escape the world for tonight
Don’t have to know that you’re mine

I ain’t tryin front babe, all I choose is you
All I see is you
It don’t matter where we chose to groove
Baby
Hey baby and I’m thinking of you
Hey baby and I’m thinking of you
Hey I’m thinking, yeah
And I want, and I want you to stay
Baby, I’m
Baby I’m hopin can you please stay? Can I stay with you?

It’s so nice to see that I can just be
Don’t have to perform, I get to be me
Cheeks ache from the grin
Constantly smiling
Haven’t felt like this, it’s something I dig
Who matters most already knows
I’d rather keep you close to home
And still have somewhere we can go
Who knew my attention could halt
Turning around giving its all
Your ‘bare minimum’ feels like the most
Can I switch it up
Switch it up

Feeling good
It’s alright with me, Janet
You got my attention, that’s what I call talent
Keep the pressure on me, baby, look I can take it
Infatuation got you fascinated with my palette
Baby
It’s PDA every stop that we go
We take this love all around like it’s a tour
So many be watching it like it’s a show
Yeah yeah
I call em take out, take my whole meal to go
I want him in the AM like breakfast at McDonald’s
I got him singing ‘stay’ like his first name is Bono
Yeah yeah
It’s BDD energy
Keeping bae just for me
Relationship on wavyyyyy yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I ain’t tryin front babe, all I choose is you
All I see is you
It don’t matter where we chose to groove
Baby
I ain’t tryin to leave if you ain’t coming too
You and me is foolproof
Together baby we can’t lose
Hey baby, let’s get away, let’s go somewhere huh
Baby, can we?
Hey baby, let’s get away, let’s go somewhere huh
Baby, can we?
Oh!
Can we get away?
Get away
Baby, let’s get away
