Scared

Ashanti · Ashanti [2002]

Verse 1:

It was around 11:30 when I realized I missed you

sitting at home all alone thinking what did I just do

feeling was strong comin on and i knew I wanted you

but something inside held me back

boy,you got me scared of you



Chorus:

Got me afraid to let my love go

Is it my heart that i should follow

Got me afraid to let myself go

Got me scared of you

Got me afraid to let my love go

Is it my heart that i should follow

Got me afraid to let myself go

Got me scared of you



Verse 2:

if i let go, I don't know if my heart will remain strong

cause you're the type that just might get it right and get me strong

i couldnt be just a girl that you seein once a month

cause if it goes down, better believe i'm gon' be your only one



(chorus)



bridge:

should I let it go, should I let it go?

no, no, no, no

should I let it go, should I let it go?

no, no, no, no, no, no

should I let it go, should I let it go?

no, no, no, no,

should I let it go, should I let it go?

no, no, no, no, no, no



(Chorus)
