Leyla

You were only seventeen
Lookin' out your window screen
Sweetest girl I ever seen
Straight up out a project dream

You were on the second floor
I was right across from yours
Two different sides of war
Kinda like a West Side Story, now

Leyla, I am in love with you, Leyla
I'm comin' up any day now
So bust that window and come with me
Leyla, get all your stuff and we'll break out
Baby, I know what they'll say now
But I want you anyway

But I want you anyway
But I want you anyway

Now we've turned twenty-three
You moved across town from me
Our friends and family, wouldn't let us be happy
I hear you're married now
I hear it ain't working out
But they can't shut us down
Leyla just tell me how and I'll be there

You are a goddess, I want you to know (whoa, oh-oh-oh)
I'll never forget you, I'll never let go
Yeah, I'll be comin' to get you

Leyla, I am in love with you, Leyla
I'm comin' up any day now
So bust that window and come with me
Leyla, get all your stuff and we'll break out
Baby, I know what they'll say now
But I want you anyway

But I want you anyway
But I want you anyway

You are a goddess, I want you to know (whoa, oh-oh-oh)
I'll never forget you, I'll never let go
Yeah, I'll be comin' to get you

Leyla, I am in love with you, Leyla
I'm comin' up any day now
So bust that window and come with me
Leyla, get all your stuff and we'll break out
Baby, I know what they'll say now
But I want you anyway

But I want you anyway

Leyla, I am in love with you, Leyla
I'm comin' up any day now
So bust that window and come with me
Leyla, get all your stuff and we'll break out
Baby, I know what they'll say now
But I want you anyway
