Do ya, do you think about me?
And do ya, do you feel the same way?
And do ya, do you remember how it felt?
'Cause I do, so listen to me, baby
[Chorus]
And I'm not tryna ruin your happiness
But darlin', don't you know that I'm the only one for ya?
And I'm not tryna ruin your happiness, baby
But darlin', don't you know that I'm the only one? Yeah
[Verse 2]
And do ya, do you think about me at all?
And do you, do you feel the same way?
Oh, tell me babe
And do ya, do you remember how it felt?
Cause I do, so listen to me now, oh oh

And I'm not tryna ruin your happiness
But darlin', don't you know that I'm the only one for ya?
