Quotable Lyrics:
Hey girl come here sit down
Lemme holla at you a while
Gotta get this off my chest
Hope that you can handle it
We’ve been seeing each other a lot
Honestly I dont want it to stop
You and me; Me and you
Im liking what we’ve got
Only thing thats bothering me
We ain’t as close as we should be
Thats cause your holding back
Holding back you love for me
How do you expect to grow if you just won’t let go
