Lyrics

Rather Be

[Chorus]

I'd rather be kissing you, baby (Yeah)

I'd rather be kissing you, baby (Yeah)

I don't need your extras, just give you to me (I, I)

I'd rather be kissing you, baby (Yeah)

[Verse 1]

Just call me more, a little

Your voice, it makes me feel better

Why you even tryna ignore me?

Boy, there's other ways to get my attention

Just be here for me, baby, I

[Chorus]

I'd rather be kissing you, baby (Yeah, I)

I'd rather be kissing you, baby (Yeah, oh)

I don't need your extras, just give you to me (I, I)

I'd rather be kissing you, baby (Yeah)

[Verse 2]

You know I love you down deep within

You're my best friend

When we are together, it feels like forever

Ain't nobody like you

Kissing me the way you do

You's a real one, ooh, ooh-ooh (Talk about it, babe)

Nobody in this world is like us two (Ooh, ooh-ooh)

That's why I'd rather

[Chorus]

I'd rather be kissing you (Baby, yeah), baby (Yeah)

I'd rather be kissing you (Baby, yeah), baby (Yeah)

I don't need your extras, just give you to me (No)

I'd rather be kissing you (Kissing you), baby (Yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]

I'd rather be kissing you, baby (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah)

I'd rather be kissing you, baby (Yeah)

I don't need your extras, just give you to me

I'd rather be kissing you

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Outro]

Extras, just give you to me (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Extras, just give you to me (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Extras, just give you to me, oh, yeah

Yeah (Yeah), yeah (Yeah)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Yeah
