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.
