Lyrics
0:35Girl I've got a question
0:37Here it is
0:39How much longer
0:40'Til you let me taste your lips
0:43You can make a ni**a wait
0:46If that's your thing
0:48But anticipation drivin' me insane
0:53I'm losing my composure
0:55Tryin' to keep my cool
0:57You start me
0:58Then you stop me
1:00So what am
1:00I supposed to do
1:04Sometimes you be actin'
1:05So scared
1:07When you know in my heart
1:10That I care
1:11Why can't we
1:13Just get past the small talk
1:15And formalities
1:17Wanna tell you that I want you
1:19But it seems so hard
1:22To let down my guard
1:24And reveal my cards
1:26Your body's convincin' me
1:29So why can't we
1:31Get right to the foreplay
1:33And right now we'll be
1:35Got me dippin' in your ocean
1:37Did I go to deep
1:39I'm just tryin' to see
1:42Baby why can't we
1:46Now I'm working hard
1:47To build your trust in me
1:50But I can see
1:51That's not gon' happen easily
1:55When you're livin' in your past
1:57And in your pain
1:59It's so hard to let your roses
2:01Bloom again again
2:04I'm never gonna judge you
2:06Girl you know it's true
2:08I'll take care of your garden
2:11That's what I intend to do
2:15You won't have to be so scared
2:18Cuz you know in my heart that I care
2:22Why can't we
2:24Just get past the smalltalk
2:26And formalities
2:28Wanna tell you that I want you
2:31But it seems so hard
2:33To let down my guard
2:35And reveal my cards
2:37Your body's convincin' me
2:40So why can't we
2:42Get right to the foreplay
