Song Lyrics

You seem to follow me down,
You seem to follow me down,

Girl you got a fuse at the end of your heart,
So once I light it up, I don't think it will stop,
You got a reputation for what you're not,
And I don't really mind that, mind that.

Don't want to be your man, don't want to be your daddy
I ain't your boyfriend; I ain't your caddy.
You got to keep it real if you want to put it on me, on me.

Are you down, want to mess around?
We'll do it underground, won't let you down,
Are you down, can we mess around, yeah,
Are you down? Don't let me down,
So, are you down, are you down, are you?

It's getting real dark on the edge of your mind,
I've never seen a smile so hard to find;
Letting all the alligators waste your time,
But, I really don't mind that, mind that.

I want to walk you home at the end of the night,
And throw you in the pool â??cause you're so uptight.
I want to fool around â??till your clothes are dry,
And I don't think you'll mind that, mind that.

So let's break out and fold up the sun,
To late to stop it now, here I come.

Are you down, want to mess around?
We'll do it underground, won't let you down,
Are you down, can we mess around, yeah,
Are you down? Don't let me down,
So, are you down, are you down, are you?

So don't cry if you're lonely, baby girl, come and show me,
I don't mind if you tease me, having fun is so easy.
Please don't lie when you kiss me,
Don't pretend when you're with me,
I know girls can be trixy when they're down.

Are you down, want to mess around?
We'll do it underground, won't let you down,
Are you down, can we mess around,
Are you down? Don't let me down,

So, are you down, are you down, are you?
