[Verse 1:]
I messed around, fell in love
I found myself in a dilemma
From the roses and clothes you bring me
I know it was kind of clingy
And I know you're thinkin'
You've been waitin' for a love with a heart so tender
And I got blanket in the winter
To cover you and keep u warm

But I don't feel covered (I don't)
I'm feeling smothered (I know)
Then I shudder (Ohh...)
Like I'm under water

[Chorus:]
Don't wanna suffocate
Baby baby lemme breathe a minute
I'm givin you the jingle with me, for once Baby don't.
Suffocate, baby baby don't be greedy
Cover me, don't hover me
No, no, Don't suffocate me
Baby, no, no, Don't suffocate me
Baby, no, no, Don't suffocate me

[Verse 2:]
I took the gifts, I took the car
Fancy parties on my birthday (birthday)
Couldn't get up the nerve to refuse you,
I don't have the heart to use you (I don't)
But the more you try to draw me in
Feel like the walls are closin' on me
I used to love the way you hold me (me)
I said don't ever let me go

But I don't fell covered (I don't) (I don't feel covered...)
I'm feeling smothered (I know),
Then I shudder (Ohhh...)
Like I'm under water (Ohhh...)

[Chorus:]
Don't wanna suffocate
Baby baby lemme breathe a minute
I'm givin you the jingle with me, for once baby don't
Suffocate, Baby baby don't be greedy
Cover me, don't hover me
No, no, don't suffocate me
Baby, no, no, Don't suffocate me
Baby, no, no, Don't suffocate me
[Baby, baby lemme breathe]
Baby, no, no, Don't suffocate me
Baby, no, no, Don't suffocate me

[Bridge:]
If you want the best of me
You gotta stop pressin' me
Back up and just let me breathe (uh huh, uh huh)
Don't wanna upset you babe
Just tryin' to communicate
You gotta let me breathe
(Ooohhh...yeah) (uh huh, uh huh)

If you want the best of me
You gotta stop pressin' me
Back up and just let me breathe
[gotta let me breathe baby] (uh huh, uh huh)
Don't wanna upset you babe
Just tryin' to communicate (oh yeah...)
You gotta let me breathe (uh huh, uh huh)

[Chorus:]
Don't wanna suffocate
Baby baby lemme breathe a minute
I'm givin you the jingle with me, for once Baby don't.
Suffocate, baby baby don't be greedy [Baby don't cha]
Cover me, don't hover me
No, no, Don't suffocate me
Baby, no, no, don't suffocate me
Baby, no, no, don't suffocate me (don't suffocate me)
Baby, no, no, don't suffocate me (don't suffocate me... yeah)
Baby, no, no, don't suffocate me...
