Before We Get Started (feat. Fabolous) - Tank

Before we get any closer Before we let it begin Before our feelings take over us I wanna tell you one thing I'm just an ordinary girl Who needs some love in her life I won't pretend to be more than I am I've had some lovers before But now I need something more Than just a meaningless holding of hands I'm just an ordinary girl Who wants to reach out and find Someone who honestly feels like I do Love is so fragile a thing, I'd sooner never begin Than to find out too late it's not true Before we get any closer Before we tell any lies Before we make any promises We really ought to decide Is this a casual affair? Two ships that pass in the night Could we find heaven out there just one time? Or are we closer than close With deeper feelings than most Could ever know for the whole of their lives? Before we get any closer Before we two become us I need to know if you'll always be Someone to totally trust I'm just an ordinary girl Who needs some love in her life I won't pretend to be more than I am I've had some lovers before But now I need something more Than just a meaningless holding of hands Is this a casual affair? Two ships that pass in the night Could we find heaven out there just one time? Or are we closer than close With deeper feelings than most Could ever know for the whole of their lives? I'm just an ordinary girl Who wants to reach out and find Someone who honestly feels like I do Love is so a fragile a thing, I'd sooner never begin Than to find out too late it's not true

First, we was touchin' and just kissin' softly Ended up fussing, can you get up off me? Gettin' emot-, gettin' emotional Gettin' emot-, gettin' emotional It ain't been the same between us Where's the disconnection? You need somethin' else Well, maybe she can do it better I guess, choose peace over stress Can't clean up your mess You wanna leave? Be my guest Pushin' my buttons, you gon' get me started Call me aggressive, I'm just bein' honest Ain't gotta do too much, much, much Hey, this is a little too much, much, much Why you gotta do so much, much, much? You don't gotta do so much, much, much This ain't no nonchalant, let's have a heart to heart Talkin' 'bout splittin' up, you thinkin' 'bout givin' up That's irrever-, that's irreversible Who gon' get hurt? Who gon' get hurt? You don't know It ain't been the same between us Where's the disconnection? You need somethin' different Maybe she can do it better I guess, choose peace over stress Won't clean up your mess If you wanna leave, be my guest Pushin' my buttons, you gon' get me started Call me aggressive, I'm just bein' honest Ain't gotta do too much, much, much Swear it's just a little too much, much, much Why you gotta do so much, much, much? You ain't gotta do so much, much, much Pushin' my buttons, you gon' get me started
