I'm hurting, baby, I'm broken down

I need your loving, loving, I need it .

When I'm without you

I'm something

You got me begging

Begging, I'm on my

I don't wanna be your love

I just wanna be deep in your love

And it's killing me when you're .

Ooh, baby,

'Cause I really don't care you are

I just wanna be there where you are

And I gotta get little taste

Your sugar

Yes, please

Won't you and put it down on me

I'm right here, 'cause I need

Little love and little

Yeah you me good loving

Make it alright

Need a little in my life

Your sugar

Yes, please

Won't you and put it down on me

My broken

You pick them up

Don't leave me hanging, hanging

Come me some

When I'm without you

I'm so

You are the one thing

The one thing, I'm for

I don't wanna be your love

I just wanna be deep in your love

And it's killing me when you're .

Ooh, baby,

'Cause I really don't care you are

I just wanna be there where you are

And I gotta get little taste

CHORUS

Yeah

I want that velvet

I want that sugar sweet

Don't let touch it

Unless that somebody's me

I gotta be a man

There ain't no way

'Cause girl you're hotter than southern

California Bay

I don't wanna play no

I don't gotta be

Don't give all that shy shit

No make up on, that's my

CHORUS (X2)

Modern Song
