I messed around,
Fell in love,
I found myself in a delima,
From the roses and clothes he bring me,
I knew he was kinda clingy,
And I know you"re thinkin',
You've been waiting for a love with a heart so tender,
Like a blanket in the winter to cover you and keep you warm

But I don't feel covered (I don't),
I'm feelin' smothered (I know),
I feel a shutter (Oooh),
Like I'm under water (Oooh)

Don't wanna suffocate,
Baby baby, let me breathe a minute,
I'm givin' you the game to win me,
Rule one baby don't,
Suffocate,
Baby baby, don't be greedy,
Cover me, don't hover me,
No, no, don't suffocate me,
Baby, no, no, don't suffocate me,
Baby, no, no, don't suffocate me

I took the gifts,
I took the cars,
Fancy parties on my birthday (Birhtday),
Couldn't get up the nerve to refuse you,
I don't have the heart to use you,
But the more you try to draw me in,
Felt like the walls were closin' on me,
I used to love the way you hold me,
I'd say don't ever let me go

But I don't feel covered (I don't),
I'm feelin smothered (I know),
I feel a shutter (Oooh),
Like I'm under water (Oooh),

Don't wanna suffocate,
Baby baby, let me breathe a minute,
I'm giving you the game to win me,
Rule one baby don't,
Suffocate,
Baby baby, don't be greedy,
Cover me, don't hover me,
No, no, don't suffocate me,
Baby, no, no, don't' suffocate me,
Baby, no, no, don't suffocate me,
Baby, no, no, don't suffocate me,
Baby, no, no, don't suffocate me

If you want the best of me,
You gotta stop pressin' me,
Back up and just let me breathe,
(Uh huh, uh huh),
Don't wanna upset you babe,
Just tryna communicate,
You gotta let me breathe
(Uh huh, uh huh),
If you want the best of me,
You gotta stop pressin' me,
Back up and just let me breathe,
[You gotta let me breathe baby]
(Uh huh, uh huh),
Don't wanna upset you babe,
Just tryna communicate,
[Oooohhh yyeeeaah]
You gotta let me breathe,
(Uh huh, uh huh)

Don't wanna suffocate,
Baby baby, let me breathe a minute,
I'm' giving you the game to win me,
Rule one baby don't,
Suffocate,
Baby baby, don't be greedy,
Cover me, don't hover me,
No, no, don't suffocate me,
Baby, no, no, don't suffocate me,
Baby, no, no, don't suffocate me,
Baby, no, no, don't suffocate me,
Baby, no, no, don't suffocate me
