I Wanna Be Down

Brandy · Best [2007]

[verse 1]

I would like to get to know if I could be

the kind of girl that you could be down for,

'Cause when I look at you I feel something tell me;

That you're the kind of guy that I should make a move on



And if I don't let you know, then I won't be for real

I could be wrong, but I feel like something could be going on

The more I see you the more that it becomes so true,

There ain't no other, for me there's only you



[Chorus]



I wanna be down, with what you're going through

I wanna be down, i wanna be down with you

No matter the time, of day or night it's true

I wanna be down



[verse 2]



I know anybody's gonna be lonely

Without the reason they got someone to care for

Maybe all you need's a shoulder to cry on

If that's a fact, then I'll be more than you ever could dream of



If all you need is the time, that I got plenty of

I'll dedicate all my love, until you call me baby

I wanna stay by your side

Be there to call you up

And let you know everthing will be alright



[chorus x2 ]



Yeah oh

Yeah, oh



[chorus x3]
