[Verse 1:] I messed around Fell in love I found myself in a dilemma From the roses and clothes you bring me I know it was kind of clingy And I know you're thinkin' You've been waitin' for a love With a heart so tender And I got blanket in the winter To cover you and keep u warm [Hook:] But I don't feel covered (I don't) I'm feeling smothered (I know) Then I shudder (Ohh...) Like I'm under water [Chorus:] Don't wanna suffocate Baby baby lemme breathe a minute I'm givin you the jingle with me For once Baby don't Suffocate Baby baby Don't be greedy Cover me Don't hover me No, no Don't suffocate me Baby, no, no Don't suffocate me Baby, no, no Don't suffocate me [Verse 2:] I took the gifts I took the car Fancy parties on my birthday (birthday) Couldn't get up the Nerve to refuse you I don't have the heart To use you (I don't) But the more you Try to draw me in Feel like the walls are closin' on me I used to love The way you hold me (me) I said don't ever let me go [Hook:] But I don't fell covered (I don't)
(I don't feel covered...) I'm feeling smothered (I know) Then I shudder (Ohhh...) Like I'm underwater (Ohhh...) [Chorus:] Don't wanna suffocate Baby baby Lemme breathe a minute I'm givin you the jingle with me For once Baby don't Suffocate Baby baby Don't be greedy Cover me Don't hover me No, no Don't suffocate me Baby, no, no Don't suffocate me Baby, no, no Don't suffocate me (Baby, baby, lemme breathe) Baby, no, no Don't suffocate me Baby, no, no Don't suffocate me [Bridge repeat 2x:] If you want the best of me You gotta stop pressin' me Back up and just let me breathe (uh huh, uh huh) Don't wanna upset you babe Just tryin' to communicate You gotta let me breathe (Ooohhh...yeah) (Uh huh, uh huh) If you want the best of me You gotta stop pressin' me Back up and just let me breathe (gotta let me breathe baby) (Uh huh, uh huh) Don't wanna upset you babe Just tryin' to communicate (oh yeah...) You gotta let me breathe (uh huh, uh huh) [Repeat Chorus:]
