Oh oh oh ooh, oh oh oh ooh
Take the weight off my shoulders
Say, I won't make the same mistakes when we're older
'Cause with every step you take I'm getting colder
So come a little closer, just come a little closer

I don't want somebody else to call my name
No, I don't want somebody else when you could just say

Say that you're the one who's taking me home
'Cause I want you on my skin and my bones
Knocking me off my feet
Just say I'm the one that you need (oh, please)
Say that you're the one who's taking me home
So I can get you alone
Oh oh oh ooh, oh oh oh ooh
Oh oh oh ooh, oh oh oh ooh

Just wanna talk a little longer
So baby won't you wanna stay a little later?
'Cause I could watch you watch me forever
'Cause I know you better
And you know I never

I never need somebody else to call my name
No, I don't want somebody else when you could just say

Say that you're the one who's taking me home
'Cause I want you on my skin and my bones
Knocking me off my feet
Just say I'm the one that you need (oh, please)
Say that you're the one who's taking me home
So I can get you alone
Oh oh oh ooh, oh oh oh ooh
Oh oh oh ooh, oh oh oh ooh

I don't need somebody else to call my name
No, I don't need somebody else to make me stay
I don't never need to walk away
You could just say, you could just say

Say that you're the one who's taking me home (me home)
'Cause I want you on my skin and my bones (my bones)
Knocking me off my feet
Just say I'm the one that you need (oh, please)
Say that you're the one who's taking me home
So I can get you alone
Oh oh oh ooh, oh oh oh ooh, alone (can get you, can get you)
Oh oh oh ooh, oh oh oh ooh, alone (can get you, can get you)
Oh oh oh ooh, oh oh oh ooh, alone (can get you, can get you)
Oh oh oh ooh, alone (can get you, can get you)
So I can get you alone
