[Verse 1]
He sends a friend to ask me if I'm interested
I see you coming my way with a smile
You say, "He's the guy, you caught his eye
But he's afraid to come over, he's a little shy
So, why don't you come talk for a while?"
But I see your smile, baby
The messenger may take the prize
And you see the look in my eyes
[Chorus]
I'd rather be with you, baby
You know what you're doing to me
Yeah, you're the one
The only one that sets it all on fire, yeah
You, baby
And I can see you wanna be with me
And now you know what I'm saying is true
I'd rather be with you
[Verse 2]
It's you and me, but then you call him over
And your buddy makes three
I know you're just trying to do right
A glance, a touch
Try and not to stare
Just a little too much
Baby, it's impossible to fight
Best of intentions
Do you really wanna give me away?
I'll take this moment to say
[Chorus]
I'd rather be with you, baby
You know what you're doing to me
Yeah, you're the one
The only one that sets it all on fire, yeah
You, baby
And I can see you wanna be with me
And now you know what I'm saying is true
I'd rather be with you
I'd rather be with you
[Bridge]
It's only time I'll make you mine
You know you can't deny me
Come a little closer, baby
And tell your friend that I'm not really interested
There is nothing more that you can do
[Chorus]
I'd rather be with you, baby
You know what you're doing to me
Yeah, you're the one
The only one that sets it all on fire, yeah
You, baby
And I can see you wanna be with me
And yeah, you know what I'm saying is true
Yeah, you know what I'm saying is true
Yeah, you know what I'm saying is true
I'd rather be with you
[Outro]
Yeah yeah, oh
I'd rather be, rather be
Yeah yeah, oh ohh
I'd rather be with you
And now you know what I'm saying is true
I'd rather be with you
