I Wanna Be Down
Brandy · Best [2007]
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]
