[Verse One]
Now even thDm7ough I try to play it off
I’m thiAmnking about you all day long
And GI can’t wait for shorty to come thAmrough
From your lips and back up to your eyes
My hands on your hips when we grind
I’m fantasizing bout what I’m gonna do to you
Got me fiening for her love can’t lie
Man you should see how she got me
Spending all this time with her 
And I couldn't leave her if I wanted to 
Her love turns men into fools
Tell me what a man is to do
[Chorus]
Cuz I can’t brDm7eathe when you talk to meAm

I suffocDm7ate when you’re away from me 
AmSo much love you take from me
I’m Ggoing outta my mindAm  
I can’t breathe when you talk to me
I can’t breathe when you’re touching me
I suffocate when you’re away from me 
So much love you take from me
I’m going outta my mind
[Verse Two]
Whenever we up in this bed
And my fingers fall in your hair
I wonder if you feel me watching you
Cuz I can’t go a night without your lovin
Got me looking at this phone
Every time it rings I hope it’s you girl
You got my bracing for your love
And I fallen for you I can’t lie
I just wanna be with you
Yes she got me there I said it
And somebody call the paramedics 
Tell em to hurry up and come through
[Chorus]
Cuz I can’t breathe when you talk to me (baby)
I can’t breathe when you’re touching me (when you touch me)
I suffocate when you’re away from me 
So much love you take from me
I’m going outta my mind (I’m going outta my mind)
I can’t breathe when you talk to me
I can’t breathe when you’re touching me
I suffocate when you’re away from me 
So much love you take from me
I’m going outta my mind
[Bridge]
Don’t ever Emleave me Fgirl 
I need you Dm7inside my Gworld

I suffocate when you’re away from me 
So much love you take from me
I’m going outta my mind (I’m going outta my mind)
I can’t breathe when you talk to me (oh when you talk to me)

So much love you take from me
I’m going outta my mind (I’m going outta my mind)
Oh no no I can’t breathe 
Oh no no I can’t breathe (I can’t breathe)
Oh no no I can’t breathe oh no

And I can’t wait for shorty to come through

From your lips and back up to your eyes

My hands on your hips when we grind

I’m fantasizing bout what I’m gonna do to you

And I couldn't leave her if I wanted to

Her love turns men into fools

Tell me what a man is to do
