I really would like to hold you

Won't you please let me in? (Let me in)

But I really would like to know you

Let me be your friend

I really would like to hold you

Won't you please let me in?

I really would like to know you (Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)

Let me be your friend

Ooh, baby, I get that it's hard times

in every single neighborhood worldwide

But you're holding on to something

that ain't right, ain't right (Ain't right)

Got your shoulders on too high

Got your soul wound too tight

Let me give you something good and right

Let me give you something good and right

I really would like to hold you

Won't you please let me in? (Won't you please)

I really would like to know you (Mhm)

Let me be your friend

I really would like to hold you

Won't you please let me in? (Won't you please, let me in)

I really would like to know you (Let me know you, baby)

Let me be your friend

Aw, baby, it's crazy, crazy

Whole world gone upside down and faded on hatred

But me and you

So much love to give

So much work to do

Come on and come on through (Um, look, uh)

I met you in the breeze where the hummingbird sings

In the summer through the mumbles of the birds and the bees

And a bountiful blossom of beautiful flowers

and trees, I could spend hours at ease

Showered and powdered, the pollen is powerful

Napkin in hand to prepare for a sneeze

Parables, passages packed for the read

I'm hoping you see I'm not, not what you need

Knock when I enter the room

may I please share this space and energy?

Time don't waste no memory

No wine, no waste, no anything

A line don't chase no symmetry

Like science, I feel chemistry

So I'm praying to a higher entity

If it's meant to be and it's meant for me

can I really squeeze you?

I really would like to hold you

Won't you please let me in?

We should know each other (We should know each other)

Let me be your friend

(Them my friends, you might be my twin

them my friends, yeah)

Everybody need a friend (You my twin

them my— them my friends, them my friends, yeah)

Won't you let me in? (You my twin

you might be my friend, them my friends, yeah)

I wanna know you, come on

(Them my friends, you might be my twin

them my friends, yeah)

Everybody need a friend (You my twin, uh)

Everybody need a friend

Everybody need a

Babe

Tell me what's going on

I understand

But that thing

That ain't gon' stop us

When beauty is the path

The pebbles and the rocks fall aside

(You handle just so much)

But you don't have to do it alone (I'm right here)

Oh, babe

Oh, I

Let me see your real side (Mhm)
