[Verse 1]
Sometimes you touch me on my face
I wish you could've never left me
You're breakin' up, my phone on two percent but you're not too far from me
[Pre-Chorus]
And sometimes when you're walkin' by
I'll tell you "I want you, I'll call you, I'll call you"
And sometimes when you're walkin' by
I'll tell you "I want you, I'll call you"
[Chorus]
Imagine you, imagine you
Say that you love me
Say that you love me
Imagine you, imagine you
Say that you love me
Say that you love me
[Verse 2]
I miss you feelin' on my waist, you never told me I was rushin'
But my mind's changin' every day, I'm glad that you could even trust me (Trust me)
[Pre-Chorus]
And sometimes when you're walkin' by
I'll tell you "I want you, I'll call you, I'll call you"
And sometimes when you're walkin' by
I'll tell you "I want you, I'll call you"
[Chorus]
Imagine you, imagine you
Say that you love me
Say that you love me
Imagine you, imagine you
Say that you love me
Say that you love me
[Bridge]
I need to tell you somethin'
I think I'll call you again
I hate when you hang with him
I think we're better as friends
I need to tell you somethin'
I think I'll call you again
I hate when you hang with him
I think we're better as friends
[Chorus]
Imagine you, imagine you
Say that you love me
Say that you love me
Imagine you, imagine you
Say that you love me
Say that you love me
