I remember the first day I saw you
You caught my eye
You always sat at my table
That’s when I knew you were mine.
You is hot like fire
I love the way you whine
And I love what’s mine, yeah.
Is you coming over
Coming over here?
I am sitting here waiting
Waiting for you to appear.
I close my eyes
For a couple of seconds
There you are over there.
Where you are standing
I need you to come over.
I need you to come over
So we can drink, smoke hookah,
Go out and chill.
I need you to come over.
I need you to come over
So we can do it all over again,
I need you to come over.
I need you to come over
So we can drink, smoke hookah,
Go out and chill.
I need you to come over.
I need you to come over
So we can do it all over again.
My eyes are shut tight
I see your face again
It was just the second time
You always running through my head.
I am missing you days and night.
I am not gonna fuss and fight.
Holding your pillow nice and close.
As I am holding you tight.
Is you coming over?
Coming over here?
I need you right here.
Right here next to me
So we can live our lives so happily.
If you only knew
That it’s only you and me.
I need you to come over.
I need you to come over
So we can drink, smoke hookah,
Go out and chill.
I need you to come over.
I need you to come over
So we can do it all over again.
Is you coming over?
When you coming over here?
I am sitting here waiting.
Waiting for you to appear,
I close my eyes for a couple of seconds.
I open wide.
There you are over there.
Where you are standing
You say you coming over.
When did you say you coming over here?
I need you right here
Right here next to me.
If you only knew
We living our lives to eternity.
I need you to come over.
I need you to come over
So we can drink, smoke hookah, go out and chill.
I need you to come over.
I need you to come over
So we can do it all over again.
I need you to come over.
I need you to come over
So we can drink, smoke hookah,
Go out and chill.
I need you to come over.
I need you to come over
So we can do it all over again.
