[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:]
