Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You, we cool right?
I mean we go back, back before the records
Before you went to college and became this person who you are
Oh, congratulations on all that anyway, too
But for a long time there's been something I need to tell you
Listen
[Verse 2]
You see we've been known each other since we we about this high
Same elementary, shared the same bus stop
Even as a youngster I knew you were so fly
Even back then I knew you were the one
I watched you grow, I watched your transformation
Right through school to your current occupation
It took this long for me to man up and have this conversation
[Verse 3]
Wait,
Let me say it first
I thought you, you wanted me
Boy I need to know that
You could be my one and only
I need you
To feel me
See you was your big mistake boy, and that's why
I tried to keep my cool when you saw me with him
But I really wished that you were right here
Tell me why you left me thin for the coast
Not from that time
I only wanted to be with you
That's why anything you said, I did
So let me stop for a minute and take a second to say
[Verse 4]
Boy you took my breath away
Boy  you took my breath away
You took my breath away, you take my breath away
[Verse 5]
They say one mans trash is the next man's treasure,
Or one find pain the next might find pleasure
I won't pay attention them haters, now or never
I don't give a damn who is before me
All that matters is you are with me now
All I need to know is that you're down
Man it's something special about round the way ladies
Ride or die baby girls
[Verse 6]
I want you
To want me
Girl I need to know that
I could be your one and only
I need you
To need me
See you were my worst mistake, girl
And thats why
It's hard to keep my cool when I see you with him
'Cause I really wish that you were right here
Tell me what's it take to win just a piece of your heart
My only kryptonite is you
That's why anything you say, I'll do
So let me stop for a minute and take a second to say
[Verse 7]
Girl you take my breath away
Away, girl you take my breath away
[Verse 8]
On the real, let me tell you something
It's like I die every time i see you with this guy
Thinking to my self why the hell is she with that guy?
Why she ain't by my side
We would be so fly, we would live that life
The life we used to dream, talked about back then
Back when I used to pull my B-M-X up along to side of your Schwinn
See here we are again
Funny how faith brought my Phantom
Up along side of your Benz
And still
[Verse 9]
I want you
You wanted me
Boy I need to know that
You could be my one and only
I need you
To feel me
See you was your big mistake boy
And thats why
[Verse 10]
I tried to keep my cool when you saw me with him
All I really wished is you were right here
Tell me why you left me thin for the coast
Start from that time
I only wanted to be with you
That's why anything you said, I did
So let me stop for a minute and take a second to say
[Verse 11]
Girl you take my breath away
Away, boy you took my breath away
You take my breath away, you take my breath away
[Verse 12]
Yeah so, I mean
Like I said, we been known each other for a long time
You've seen me go through
I seen you go through
We're here now and
I just thought I'd tell you that
So you got my numbers, you got my email
You know everything
So I guess the next message I get from you
And let me know what you think about this right here, alright?
Alright, get home safe
