Lyrics

[Intro]

Hey, hey

Oh, oh, oh, sing

[Verse 1]

So, presently I'm standing

Here right now, you're so demanding

Tell me what you want from me, concluding

Concentrating on my music, lover, and my babies

Make me wanna ask the lady for a ticket outta town

[Chorus]

So can I get a window seat? (Hey)

Don't want nobody next to me

I just want a ticket outta town

A look around and a safe touch down, oh, oh

Can I get a window seat?

Don't want nobody next to me

I just want a chance to fly

A chance to cry and a long bye-bye

Whoa, oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]

But I, I need you to want me

I need you to miss me

I, I need your attention, yes

I need you next to me

Oh, I, I need someone to clap for me

I need your direction

[Bridge]

Somebody say come back, yeah

Come back, baby, come back

I want you to need me

Come back, hey, come back, baby, come back

Baby, ba-baby

Come back, come back, baby, come back

Want you to need me, need me, oh

Come back, come back, baby, come back

[Verse 2]

So, out my mind, I'm tusslin'

Back and forth 'tween here and hustlin'

I don't wanna time travel no mo'

I wanna be here, I'm thinking

So, on this porch, I'm rockin'

Back and forth like Lightnin' Hopkins

If anybody speak to Scotty, tell him beam me up

[Chorus]

So can I get a window seat? (Hey)

Don't want nobody next to me

I just want a ticket outta town

A look around and a safe touch down, oh, oh

Can I get a window seat?

Don't want nobody next to me

Hey, see, I just want a chance to fly

A chance to cry and a long bye-bye

Oh, oh

Mmm, oh-oh, uh, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]

But I, I need you to miss me

I need somebody, come get me, ooh

I said I need your attention, yes

And I need your energy, yes, I do

Oh, I, I need someone to clap for me

And I need your direction

[Bridge]

Somebody say come back, hey

Come back, baby, come back, yeah

I want you to need me, come back

Come back, come back, baby, come back

I, I, I, oh, I, yes, I need you to

Come back, come back, baby, come back

Uh, come look for me, say

Come back, come back, baby, come back

Hey, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

So can I get a window seat?

Don't want nobody next to me

I just want a ticket outta town

A look around and a safe touch down

Oh, ah, hey

Next to me

I just want a chance to fly

A chance to cry and a long bye-bye
