Sometimes
Britney Spears · ...Baby One More Time
You tell me you're in love with me
like you can't take your pretty eyes away from me
it's not that I don't wanna stay
but every time you come too close I move away
I wanna believe in everything that you say
'cause it sounds so good
but if you really want me, move slow
there's things about me you just have to know
Chorus:
sometimes I run
sometimes I hide
sometimes I'm scared of you
but all I really want is to hold you tight
treat you right, be with you day and night
baby all I need is time
I don't wanna be so shy
every time that I'm alone I wonder why
hope that you will wait for me
you'll see that you're the only one for me
I wanna believe in everything that you say
'cause it sounds so good
but if you really want me, move slow
there's things about me you just have to know
Chorus:
I'll just hang around and you'll see
there's nowhere I'd rather be
if you love me, trust in me
the way that I trust in you
Chorus 2x
like you can't take your pretty eyes away from me
it's not that I don't wanna stay
but every time you come too close I move away
I wanna believe in everything that you say
'cause it sounds so good
but if you really want me, move slow
there's things about me you just have to know
Chorus:
sometimes I run
sometimes I hide
sometimes I'm scared of you
but all I really want is to hold you tight
treat you right, be with you day and night
baby all I need is time
I don't wanna be so shy
every time that I'm alone I wonder why
hope that you will wait for me
you'll see that you're the only one for me
I wanna believe in everything that you say
'cause it sounds so good
but if you really want me, move slow
there's things about me you just have to know
Chorus:
I'll just hang around and you'll see
there's nowhere I'd rather be
if you love me, trust in me
the way that I trust in you
Chorus 2x
