 Struggling with Sometimes? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

She got my full attention 
With an out of nowhere question 
I thought she knew the answer to 
She felt the need to ask 
Cause just last night she'd had 
Some crazy dream about losin' me 
She said do I still turn you on and fill your every need 
I need to hear you say you still love me 

[Chorus]
And I don't mean sometimes 
Not almost always 
Not a little or most times 
All night and all day 
Tell me I'm (Darlin' you're) in you (my) heart and on 
your (my) mind 
Baby and I don't mean sometimes 

I told her darlin' shake me 
Next time that you're awakened 
By the thought that I could go 
And I'll take you in my arms 
Oh with all my heart 
I'll make it clear that I ain't going nowhere 

Yes you're all I want and all I'll ever need 
I'm still hopelessly in love as I can be 

She got my full attention 
With an out of nowhere question 
I thought she knew the answer to.
