lyrics

V1
a minute ago
I was feeling something missing inside
I didn’t take time to realize you’re the missing piece in my life

I guess I never thought I’d ever need
a someone like you
See that's probably the reason why
I didn't chase after you

V2
The sight of you leaves me weak
see I can’t believe what I see
and it feels so mad like
is this really ality

feels like fairytale baby
once upon a time I met you
And it’s no white lie that
I feel I need you

Prechorus
I hope this don't come across shocking
I know I never gave you a warning
it's just a Lil simple phrase
I’ve been meaning to say:

Chorus
I want you
I want you
I want you
I want you

V3
I know it may come accross cheesy
seem a lil bit crazy for you
but i can’t seem to help this feeling
so, is that a maybe?

I’m thinking the sun me and you
a mojito the beach just relaxed ahh
I feel that we can be a fling
a thing

Prechorus

Chorus

Bridge
I need to feel alive why I need you, I ought to feel alive

Chorus
I want u...
