I really would like to hold you
Won't you please let me in? (Let me in)
I really would like to know you
Let me be your friend
I really would like to hold you
Won't you please let me in?
I really would like to know you (yeah, yeah)
Let me be your friend
Ooh, baby, I get that it's hard times
In every single neighborhood worldwide
But you're holding on to something that ain't right (ain't right)
Got your shoulders on too high, got your soul wound too tight
Let me give you something good and right
Let me give you something good and right
I really would like to hold you
Won't you please let me in? (Won't you please?)
I really would like to know you
Let me be your friend
I really would like to hold you
Won't you please let me in? (Won't you please let me in?)
I really would like to know you (let me know you, baby)
Let me be your friend
Oh, baby, it's crazy, crazy
Whole world gone upside down and faded on hatred
But me and you, so much love to give
So much work to do, come on and come on through
Look, uh, I met you in the breeze where the hummingbird sings
In the summer through the mumbles of the birds and the bees
And a bountiful blossom of beautiful flowers and trees
I could spend hours at ease, showered and powdered
The pollen is powerful, napkin' in hand to prepare for a sneeze
Parables, passages packed for the read
I'm hoping you see I'm not not what you need
Knock when I enter the room, may I please share this space and energy?
Time don't waste no memories, no wine, no waste, no anything
A line don't chase no symmetry, like science, I feel chemistry
So I'm praying to a higher entity
If it's meant to be and it's meant for me
(Can I really squeeze you?) I really would like to hold you
Won't you please let me in?
We should know each other (we should know each other)
Let me be your friend (you're my friend, you're my-, you're my twin, you're my friend)
Everybody need a friend (you're my-, you're my twin)
Won't you let me in? (You're my twin)
I wanna know you (you're my friend, you're my friend)
Come on (you're my friend, you're my friend)
Everybody need a friend (you're my twin)
Everybody need a friend
Everybody need a friend
Hey, tell me what's going on
I understand, but that thing, that ain't gon' stop us
When beauty is the path, the pebbles and
The rocks follows us so much (I miss you so much)
But you don't have to do it alone (I'm right here)
(Open, open wide, let me see your insides)
