Lying here with you reminds me of those days Me and Candice waking up to a heat wave Mother's in the garden inviting everyone Oh, we'd cut up our old jeans and go outside Neighbor's always smiling with the baby on her knee Mia's sat on the front step getting her hair combed out in weaves And music, the bass boomin', oh, it's from the car parked in the street Got that new song on repeat, oh, oh (I'd, I'd) like to put my fingers on you (I'd, I'd) like to paint a picture for you Sometimes you don't understand where I'm coming from I'd just like to make you see that I desire simple things Growing up, we didn't have a lot of money Used to spend our summer having parties on the drive Plastic cups for rum and punch, eating chicken that's hot and sweet All the women discussing what love is like; ooo, you know the way I mean And I'm just sitting, watching, hoping the boys will call for me Got that new song on repeat, oh, oh (I'd, I'd) like to put my fingers on you (I'd, I'd) like to paint a picture for you Sometimes you don't understand where I'm coming from I'm just tryin' to make you see that I desire simple things Maybe then, now and then, I would want somebody Delicate, intimate, used to dream of someone to love Now you come, and you go right by me I know I'm in love (I'd, I'd) like to put my fingers on you (I'd, I'd) like to paint this picture for you Sometimes you don't understand where I'm coming from I'm just tryin' to make you see that I desire simple things (I'd, I'd) like to put my fingers on you (I'd, I'd) like to paint a picture for you Sometimes you don't understand where I'm coming from I'd just like to make you see that I desire simple things (I'd, I'd) oh, I'd like to put my fingers on you (I'd, I'd) and paint a picture for you Sometimes you don't understand where I'm coming from Oh, I desire simple things
