## Lyrics

[Intro]

What we gon' do now? (Oh Lord, try some if you like it)

Is slow it down on the floor (you know you like that)

(Try some if you like that)

Oh Lord, uh oh

Uh oh, yeah, peep game

Come on

[Verse 1]

When you look from outside

All you see is videos and shows (yeah)

But there's more to my life than people could ever know (uh huh)

Sometimes I gotta smile (smile) when I don't feel like smiling

Sit back and ride (ride) when I feel like driving

Nobody understands but you, girl (fo' sho')

I can always be myself with you, girl

That's why I'm singing

[Pre-Chorus]

Ooooh, I can't believe it

You came just in time with what I needed

And you're not like the other girls I meet everyday

You stay down like them girls from around the way

[Chorus]

Uh oh, that's why I had to say

Come follow me, come follow me, come follow me

That's why I had to say

Come follow me, come follow me, come follow me

Uh oh, that's why I had to say

Come follow me, come follow me, come follow me now

Right now (right now)

[Verse 2]

Since you've been in my life, when I'm away from you, I hurry home (aww yeah, I hurry home)

You live in my mind, so I never feel like I'm alone, yeah (alone)

Sometimes I gotta go (go) where I don't feel like going

And when it gets too fast (fast) and I feel like slowing down (slowing down)

No one understands but you

That's why I only see myself with you

[Pre-Chorus]

Ooooh, I can't believe it

You came just in time with what I needed

And you're not like the other girls I meet everyday

You stay down like them girls from around the way

(Real girls stay down, that's fo' sure)

Ooooh, I can't believe it

You came just in time with what I needed

And you're not like the other girls I meet everyday

You stay down like them girls from around the way

[Chorus]

Come follow me, come follow me, come follow me (come now)

Come follow me, come follow me

Come follow me (girl come follow me now)

Come follow me, come follow me

Come follow me now (oooh), right now (right now)

[Bridge]

You've been there for me and I'll (so I'll)

I'll be there for you girl

[Pre-Chorus]

Ooooh, I can't believe it

You came just in time with what I needed

And you're not like the other girls I meet everyday

You stay down like them girls from around the way (oh, shorty)

Ooooh, I can't believe it

You came just in time with what I needed

And you're not like the other girls I meet everyday

You stay down like them girls from around the way

Ooooh, I can't believe it

You came just in time with what I needed

And you're not like the other girls I meet everyday

You stay down like them girls from around the way

[Chorus]

Come follow me, come follow me, come follow me

(What we gon' do now)

Come follow me, come follow me, come follow me

(Is slow it down on the floor)

Come follow me, come follow me

Come follow me now, right now

Come follow me, come follow me, come follow me
