  • (Pretty brown, aight)
    (Yeaugh!)

    Is it a crime to want that old thing back?
    Can it be wrong to miss the way you used to kiss me?

    (Back!) Back in the day
    (Back!) Back to the way you used to love me (you used to love me)

    Now you've got me ready to break the law again,
    Cause I made a vow to rock with you til the end
    So, tell me why lately you ain't been the same?
    Cause I remember when you said!

    Right from the door, said can we talk?
    You had me caught, got to admin it love
    Let's cut straight to the point,
    You know with me is where you belong
    Now here we are, how did we grow so much apart?
    So far from the start

    Let's cut straight to the point

    Baby you know with me is where you belong

    Pretty brown eyes! You know, I need you
    That's why I keep holding on, I can't let go
    I hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, I!
    Keep holding on after all your rejection
    Cause I don't wanna let go, but you should know
    I'll move on, I'll move on, I'll move on
    Pretty brown eyes!

    So let's go, let me know
    You know where you belong,
    What's the hold?
    Baby you know with me is where you belong

    It's like one minute your warm,
    And then the next your so cold,
    I never know when your coming or going, Hey!

    Tell me why lately you ain't been the same?
    I still remember when you said
    Right from the door, said can we talk?
    You had me caught, got to admit it love
    Let's cut straight to the point
    You known with me is where you belong
    Now here we are, how did we grow so much apart?
    So far from the start

    Let's cut straight to the point

    Baby you know with me is where you belong!

    Pretty brown eyes! You know, I need you
    That's why I keep holding on, I can't let go
    I hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, I!
    Keep holding on after all your rejection
    Cause I don't wanna let go, but you should know
    I'll move on, I'll move on, I'll move on
    Pretty Brown Eyes!

    And I don't want to be the one to tell you everything!
    Cause I've been spending all my time give you a chance to change!
    You say your in love, But!
    If this is love, What!
    Can I do to make it feel better?

    And what about the feeling that there's someone on the side?
    Cause lately you've been acting like you got so much to hide!

    Cause I know that lately you ain't been the same,
    And so I got to let you know that!

    Pretty brown eyes! You know, I need you
    That's why I keep holding on, I can't let go
    I hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, I!
    Keep holding on after all your rejection
    Cause I don't wanna let go, but you should know
    I'll move on, I'll move on, I'll move on
    Pretty brown eyes!

    Don't move on, don't move on,
    Don't move on, don't move on,
    Don't move on, move on from me yea!

    We belong together!
    Forever! Ever! Ever!

    Forever and ever and ever, yea! Writer/s: AMERIE ROGERS, EDWIN SERRANO, HOMER O'DELL, JEFFREY ALLEN, KEIRSTON JAMAL LEWIS, LAWRENCE WADDELL, RICKY KINCHEN, STOKLEY WILLIAMS
