Echo
Akon · Other Songs - Akon
Forgot what it's like to rule my world
She got me and she got me good
I don't even wanna hang around my boys
[PRE-HOOK:]I used to say I'm not that kinda guy
I don't do love, don't waste my time
But lately all that's on my mind
Is when I'm back with her
[CHORUS:]With her, with her
And everywhere I hear her words
Every corner I seem to turn
I can't hide from this love
Oh oh, oh oh, you keep taunting me wherever I go
Oh oh, oh oh, filling up my heart and I can feel it
Oh oh, oh oh, going round and round like an echo
Echo, echo, echo, echo, echo
[VERSE 2:]Somehow, I keep lying to myself
I say I can manage just right along
Matter fact I am so damn scared
Cause I think about were i belong
[PRE-HOOK:]I never had this kind of feeling before
I think I'm falling in love
Cause lately all that's on my mind
Is when I'm back with her
[CHORUS:]With her, with her
And everywhere I hear her words
Every corner I seem to turn
I can't hide from this love
Oh oh, oh oh, you keep taunting me wherever I go
Oh oh, oh oh, filling up my heart and I can feel it
Oh oh, oh oh, going round and round like an echo
Echo, echo, echo, echo, echo
[BRiDGE:]round and round, everywhere, in my head, in the air
Echooo, echooo
round and round, everywhere, in my head, in the air
Echooo, echooo
(menudo, echoo)
[Chorus:]Can't hide from this love
Oh oh, oh oh, you keep taunting me wherever I go
Oh oh, oh oh, filling up my heart and I can feel it
Oh oh, oh oh, going round and round like an echo
Echo, echo, echo, echo, echo
I can't hide from this love
Oh oh, oh oh, you keep taunting me wherever I go
Oh oh, oh oh, filling up my heart and I can feel it
Oh oh, oh oh, going round and round like an echo
Echo, echo, echo, echo, echo
