Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[PreChorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

You'll see that you're the only one for me

[PreChorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

I'll just hang around and you'll see

There's nowhere I'd rather be

If you love me, trust in me

The way that I trust in you

[Bridge]

Ah, ooh, yeah

[Chorus]

Sometimes, I run (Sometimes)

Sometimes, I hide

Sometimes, I'm scared of you

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)

[Chorus]

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

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

[Chorus]

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
