lyrics

I love how we talk over each other
And how we’re the quirkiest of lovers
Can’t remember how you get on my nerves
Maybe I’m way too busy watching those curves on you
Can’t front like I don’t want this sex with you
But still I’m impressed with all the rest of you
And until those vows, I’m willing to wait
And if you're with it girl, I’m willing to stay with you

I don’t need perfection to win me over
I need your attention, I wanna be closer
I know you’ve had your questions too babe
I just want you to be you baby
You may not show your intentions the way that I do
Still you are impressive, that's why I like you
Know you are a blessing too babe
I just want you to be you baby
Exactly how God made you lately
I just want you to be you
I'm saying I just want you to be you, babe

I love how you look wearing my sweater
A little off of your shoulder’s even better
Really I don’t expect most to understand
The love I feel from you when holding your hand babe
See I got a love that’s waited patiently
Seventeen years to hear you’re safe with me
I’m the dreamer, you’re the practical one
Then we switch sides, it’s just a balance that comes with you

I don’t need perfection to win me over
I need your attention, I wanna be closer
I know you’ve had your questions too babe
I just want you to be you baby
You may not show your intentions the way that I do
Still you are impressive, that's why I like you
Know you are a blessing too babe
I just want you to be you baby
Exactly how God made you lately
I just want you to be you
I'm saying I just want you to be you, babe

You to be you, babe
You to be you, babe
Really I don’t expect most to understand, yeah
The love I feel from you when holding your hand babe, right
Can’t remember how you get on my nerves, mmm
Maybe I’m way too busy watching those curves on you

Yeah, confession ain't over
I just want you to be you, babe
Conquest, D. Steele on 'em, Mike Irish
I just want you to be you, babe

I probably loved you when you were 17 and I was 22
I chalked it up to infatuation though
Cause I didn’t know things about you I’m sure many knew
And still you were a landmark in Jason’s soul
You were sheltered, I felt it
Yet I melted every time I was around you, couldn’t help it
Wasn’t selfish when you joined the military, I’d accept it
And when I found you out you were married, I’d expect it
When I saw you in 09, looking so fine
Tackled by love I still had for you this whole time
Army of affection with it’s navy crossing seas
And skies like the air force with the corps of the Marines
Taken off ‘active duty’, placed on reserve
Respecting your marriage truly, my faith was deterred
But even then I had this feeling you belonged to me
But was my dreaming just deceiving, what was wrong with me
After a decade though, this feeling’s too prolonged to be
Just infatuation so when you weren't taken
I had you in my sights, here’s my shot, I had to pull it
With patience of a sniper and focus of an assassin’s bullet
Fired off, but I missed because you wasn’t ready
And by the time you were ready, I was going steady
Already thinking “You and I” was just a pipe dream
But now we’re single again, crazy as that might seem
I’m not losing you again, that’s my word
Two ships passing in the night? That’s absurd
So on that platform, you were game for my kissing
I was being radical trying to change your thinking
So I watch sci-fi with you over a glass of wine
Saying “I love you” is the perfect way to pass the time
I love that you insist we be a team
I love that you insist you be with me

Yeah, and you're the finest thing I ever seen
You exist in real time instead of all my dreams
I just want you to be you, babe
And nowadays I don't have to dream
You went rogue for my heart, now you are the queen
I just want you to be you, babe
Yeah, and you're the finest thing I ever seen
You exist in real time instead of all my dreams
I just want you to be you, babe
And nowadays I don't have to dream
You went rogue for my heart, now you are the queen
I just want you to be you, babe
