Sometimes Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You tell me you're in love with me
Like you can't take your pretty eyes away from me
It's not that I don't wanna stay
But every time you come too close, I move away

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna believe in everything that you say
'Cause it sounds so good

But if you really want me, move slow
There's things about me you just have to know

[Chorus]
Sometimes I run
Sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you
But all I really want is to hold you tight
Treat you right
Be with you day and night
Baby, all I need is time

[Verse 2]
I don't wanna be so shy, uh-oh
Every time that I'm alone, I wonder why
Hope that you will wait for me
You'll see that you're the only one for me

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna believe in everything that you say
'Cause it sounds so good

But if you really want me, move slow
There's things about me you just have to know

[Chorus]
Sometimes I run (Sometimes)
Sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you
But all I really want is to hold you tight
Treat you right
Be with you day and night
All I really want is to hold you tight
Treat you right
Be with you day and night
Baby, all I need is time

[Bridge]
I'll just hang around and you'll see
There's nowhere I'd rather be
If you love me, trust in me
The way that I trust in you
Ah, ooh, yeah

[Chorus]
Sometimes I run (Sometimes)
Sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you (Ooh, oh)
But all I really want is to hold you tight (Hold you tight)
Treat you right
Be with you day and night (Day and night, ooh, yeah)
Sometimes I run (Sometimes)
Sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you (Ooh, oh)
But all I really want is to hold you tight
I'll treat you right
I'll be with you day and night (Day and night)
[Outro]
All I really want is to hold you tight
Be with you day and night
Sometimes I run (Sometimes)
Sometimes I hide
Sometimes I'm scared of you
But all I really want is to hold you tight
I'll treat you right
I'll be with you day and night

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
