Before You and I

Hold me close little darling
And sing to me sweet
When the night comes a calling
And I’ve got dancing feet

How long must I wait
For the night to come?

Fourteen billion years ago;
Was no bird or a tree.
Before you and I.
Ain’t nothing hung on the horizon;
Was nothing there to see!
Before you and I.

How long must I wait
For the night to come?

Before you and I
Oh, hold me little darling
Before you and I
Oh, hold me little darling
Before you and I
Oh, hold me little darling

You’ll always want me
And you’ll always want more
Always want my body
Always cut to the core

You’ll always want me
And you’ll always want more
You can read my mind
Just look and you’ll find

No I don’t want to work it out
You’re the devil dressed in a perfect lie
No I don’t want to lose my time
You’re everything I want to leave behind

Now I’ll sing a song, a song
For my broken heart

He has a fancy leather chair
It’s always spinning and reclining
He’s so comfortable
And self assured
I wanna look like you
I wanna look like you
I wanna look like you
Cool and so energetic
Sweet and so sympathetic
Funny and dressed correctly
He has an office on the 14th floor
I don't know what goes on upstairs
There’s love affairs
And Friday things
I wanna look like you
I wanna look like you
I wanna look like you
Smooth and so calm, collected
Nonchalant, say the right things
Funny and dressed correctly

Verse 1:
You’re into me
I know for sure
There’s some love hiding under that cold exterior
I set you free
You came asking for more
Feeling like a stranger
When you knock on my door

Pre-Chorus:
Don’t leave your problems in the past
You let your attachment issues
Get the best out of you
I bet
You know I haven’t met my match
You are growing oh bitter every day

Chorus:
You know I’m on your side (I say that)
I know you got the pride (Don’t play that)
Are you willing to try (And weigh the)
Pros & Cons, Pros & Cons
Baby I’ll make you feel so high
Come along with me and we’ll touch the sky
Maybe it doesn’t have to be so hard
Once you open up your heart

Verse 2:
Sometimes you must be wondering
What you’re heading towards
When you jog in the morning right past lovers in their porch
Companionship ain’t easy
Love always asks for more
True honesty and maybe courage just to rock the score
Wonder why I’m so fly, lightness in my chest ?
Wanna know why I always seem so restful ?

Pre-Chorus:
I leave my problems on the past
I don’t let my past mistakes determine what I’m feeling today
I know I am my perfect match
I am growing oh wiser everyday

Chorus:
You know I’m on your side (I say that)
I know you got the pride (Don’t play that)
Are you willing to try (And weigh the)
Pros & Cons, Pros & Cons
Baby I’ll make you feel so high
Come along with me and we’ll touch the sky
Maybe it doesn’t have to be so hard
Once you open up your heart

BR:
Erô baba mixoro ero mi baba cujadê 
Erô baba mixoro ero mi baba 
Ijexá toca com agogô, toca com atabaque 
toca com coração


foi vovô quem deu lugar ao batuque feito com amor
disse bem erô babá, som madeira ecoa pelo ar
quem cantava transformou cerejeira em boca de tambor 
quem tocava enfeitiçou pé na terra pé de beira mar

ENG:
it was grandpa who made way for drumming made with love
he said well erô babá, the sound of wood echoes through the air
those who sang turned cherry trees into drums
those who played enchanted feet on the ground and by the sea
