You tell me you're in love with me
Like you can't take your pretty eyes away from me
It's not that I don't wanna stay
But every time you come too close, I move away
I wanna believe in everything that you say
'Cause it sounds so good
But if you really want me, move slow
There's things about me, you just have to know
Sometimes I run
Sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you
But all I really want is to hold you tight
Treat you right
Be with you day and night
Baby, all I need is time
I don't wanna be so shy, uh-oh
Every time that I'm alone, I wonder why
Hope that you will wait for me
That you'll see that you're the only one for me
I wanna believe in everything that you say
'Cause it sounds so good
But if you really want me, move slow
There's things about me, you just have to know
Sometimes I run (sometimes)
Sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you
But all I really want is to hold you tight
Treat you right
Be with you day and night
All I really want is to hold you tight
Treat you right
Be with you day and night
Baby, all I need is time
Just hang around and you'll see
There's nowhere I'd rather be
If you love me, trust in me
The way that trust in you
Sometimes I run (sometimes)
Sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you (ooh, ooh)
But all I really want is to hold you tight (hold you tight)
Treat you right
Be with you day and night (day and night)
Sometimes I run (sometimes)
Sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you (ooh, ooh)
But all I really want is to hold you tight
I'll treat you right
I'll be with you day and night (day and night)
All I really want is to hold you tight
Be with you day and night
Sometimes I run (sometimes)
Sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you
But all I really want is to hold you tight
I'll treat you right
