I don't care if you're here
Or if you're not alone

It's kinda like we didn't happen
The way that your lips move
The way you whisper slow
I don't care, it's good as gone (uh)

I said I won't lose control, I don't want it (ooh)
I said I won't get too close, but I can't stop it

Oh no, there you go, making me a liar
Got me begging you for more

But what if, you kiss me? (Yeah)

Say that I don't need you, oh
