Not now and then, but until the end

I just love the way you act, and that's a fact
I want to be your number one, so picture that

Even though, uh, it's a cold world, baby
But you know deep down inside that I do love ya
I know I sound strange, but I really mean it (I'd rather be with you, yeah)

We gonna make it this time baby
(I'd rather be with you, yeah) you're the only one I really love now
I'm coming at you with both hands tied behind my back, baby

(I'd rather be with you, yeah) you got me, I'm coming at you, get ready
I'm gonna stick my love in your eye, baby (I'd rather be with you, yeah)

You can see me coming baby, just coming all over you
(Yeah I'd rather be with you)
