Common Denominator
Justin Bieber · My Worlds (My World 1.0 + 2.0) [2010]
And I fall in love with you all over again, Oooh
You're the light that feeds the sun, in my world
I'd face a thousand years of pain for my girl
Out of all the things in life that I could fear
The only thing that would hurt me, is if you weren't here
Whoa
I don't want to go back
To just being one half of the equation
Do you understand what I'm sayin'
Girl with out you I'm lost
Can't fix this compass at heart
Between me and love you're the common denominator (oh, oh, ohhh, oh)
You're the common denominator (oh, oh, oh, ooh oh, oh oh)
Before you love was low
Playin' girls was my high
You changed the game, now I put my cot to the side
Hey
Broken hearts rise up to say "Love is a lie."
You and I will stand to be love's reply
Yeah
Out of all the things in life, that I could fear, Yeah
The only thing that would hurt me is if you weren't here, here, here
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't want to go back
To just being one half of the equation
You understand what I'm sayin'?
Girl without you I'm lost
Can't fix this compass at heart
Between me and love you're the common denominator (oh, oh, ohh, oh)
You're the common denominator, oh, yeah, whoa
I can't imagine a life,
Without your touch,
Every kiss that you give,
It fills me up,
And to all the heart aching,
Jealous males hating,
I'ma hold it down for you,
For you, whoa, oh whoa,
You're the common denominator,
Oh, yeah, whoa,
I don't wanna to go back to
Half of the equation, whoa whoa
Do you understand what I'm sayin'
Girl without you I'm lost
Can't fix this compass at heart
Between me and love you're the common denoominator
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
You're the common denominator
Oh, yeah, whoa
Just a fraction of your love fills the air
And I fall in love with you all over again
