Floating Away
Ne-Yo · Other Songs - Ne-Yo
She don't impress me, not like she used to
Everything that she don't do
That's what I want, what I need
Seeking rapidly, that's when you sailed through
That's mean so way with you
Everything that she won't do, you do for me
Say what you say, we're floating away, away
Baby I was downing in my sorrow
Couldn't see tomorrow today, then you came
Say what you say, say, say, we're floating away, away, away
Now I see the sun on the horizon
Now I think that I'll be ok, since you came, yeah
12 am she leaves, she don't say where to
Won't see her again till 12 noon and she don't smile like me
Suddenly I see why she don't do what she used to
She found someone new, well baby me too, so sorry
Say what you say, say, say, we're floating away, away, away
Baby I was downing in my sorrow
Couldn't see tomorrow today, then you came, oh
Say what you say, say, say, we're floating away, away, way
Now I see the sun on the horizon
Now I think that I'll be ok, since you came
Ohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohohoh,..
Say what you say, say, say, we're floating away, away, away
Baby I was downing in my sorrow
Couldn't see tomorrow today, then you came
Say what you say, say, say, we're floating away, away, away
Now I see the sun on the horizon
Now I think that I'll be ok, since you came
Say what you say, oh, oh
Say what you say, aaahh
Say what you say
