(Raido killa) (Hey) (Ey, let me tell you now) (The American dream) (Ooh baby) Tryna decide, tryna decide if I really wanna go out tonight. I never used to go out without ya', not sure I remember how to. Gonna be late, gonna be late but all my girls gon' have to wait Cause I don't know if I like my outfit. I tried everything in my closet. Nothing feels right when I'm not with you. Sick of this dress and these Jimmy Choo's. Take 'em off cause I feel a fool. Tryna dress up when I'm missing you. I'm a step out of this lingerie. Roll up in the mall with something Hanes. In bed I lay, with nothing but your t-shirt on. In nothing but your t-shirt on. (Radio killa) Gonna miss ya, can't wait to kiss ya. Gonna wrap you up in my ar-ar-arms. I'm gonna work you out as soon as I get home. My baby, my lady, while you're walking around I receive a new text from my phone. I'm going crazy, that's what you make me. Cause I don't want to go another night alone. I know I'm not u-u-up in the club And you will never hear about me with another girl. Got keys to my heart, you own my love. I'll never, ever, ever, ever give you up. And I can understand why you hate it when I'm gone. Cause I'm so love-sick when I'm on my own. Hold on up a sec, I just got your last text. It's a picture of you with my t-shirt on. It's a picture with my t-shirt on. And I can't stand to see you with my t-shirt on. I wanna walk through them doors and pull it off. T-shirt on, I can't take it no more, I'm coming home. Tryna decide, tryna decide. And I'm tryna get by, tryna get by. (Oh I) couldn't even leave my apartment. (There's a pain in my heart and I can't stop it) Nothing feels right when I'm not with you. Sick of this dress and these Jimmy Choo's. Taking ,em off cause I feel a fool. Tryna dress up when I'm missing you. I'm a step out of this lingerie. Roll up in the mall with something Hanes. In bed I lay (Baby) Nothing feels right when I'm not with you. Sick of this dress and these Jimmy Choo's. Taking 'em off cause I feel a fool. Tryna dress up when I'm missing you. (Cause I miss you) I'm a step out of this lingerie. (I miss you baby) Roll up in the mall with something Hanes. In bed I lay, (I'm gonna be in bed) with nothing but your t-shirt on. Nothing but my t-shirt. Said I got nothing but your t-shirt on. Cause I wanna be close to you (Nothing but your t-shirt on) I remember when you would like to see me with nothing but your t-shirt on. (Nothing but my t-shirt on) (Hey) Nothing but your t-shirt on. Let me tell you, no (Nothing but your t-shirt on) With nothing but your t-shirt on. And it feels right with nothing but your t-shirt on.
