Lyrics

[Spoken Intro] Erykah, we've been known each other for a while and You know, I'm into you Just wanna know what I gotta do, you know, to get closer to you Wait a minute now, you know I'm in a situation, why you even— Don't do this, why you trippin' like that? Well, I understand that, but you, your whole vibe is, you know I see myself being with you forever Ah, that is, you know, that's really beautiful and I kinda dig you too, you know that, we But we're friends and I'm in a situation I, I'm in a relationship and you know what that means Well, whatever I gotta do, I'll do it for you Hm, you sure put me in an awkward situation [Chorus] Now what am I supposed to do When I want you in my world (Want you in my world) But how can I want you for myself (Oh) When I'm already someone's girl? (Mm) What am I supposed to do When I want you in my world (Want you in my world; baby) But how can I want you for myself When I'm already someone's girl? [Verse 1] First time that I saw you, boy It was a warm and sunny day All I know is I wanted you I really hoped you'd look my way When you smiled at me so warm and sweet (You smiled) I could not speak You make me feel like a little bitty girl What do you do to me? [Chorus] Now what am I supposed to do (What you want me to do?) When I want you in my world (Want you in my world; oh) But how can I want you for myself (Oh) When I'm already someone's girl? [Post-Chorus] I guess I'll see you next lifetime No hard feelings I guess I'll see you next lifetime I'm gon' be there (Mm) [Verse 2] Your energy Feels so damn good to me It picks me up, don't wanna come down You got me spinning all around, yeah (No) You need to know I've got somebody But you're beautiful, sure But still, it ain't that type of party, now [Chorus] Now what am I supposed to do (What you want me to do?) When I want you in my world (Want you in my world) But how can I want you for myself (I can't help my feelings) When I'm already someone's girl? (Oh no) Now what am I supposed to do When I want you in my world (I know, I know I'm selfish, but I; want you in my world) But how can I want you for myself (Oh, oh) When I'm already someone's girl?
