Breathe (Rap Version) Lyrics
[Intro: Sean Paul]
Sean Paul and Blu Cantrell
Remix that gon' make the head swell, yo
Yo, hey, yo, boom, yo, hey, yo, dutty, yeah
[Chorus: Sean Paul & Blu Cantrell]
(Breathe) So what's that supposed to be about, baby?
Gal, free up ya vibe and stop acting crazy
Reminisce 'pon all the good times daily
Why you trying to pose like I be acting shady? (Breathe)
What's that supposed to be about, baby? (Hey, yo)
Gal, free up ya vibe and stop acting crazy
Sean Paul give you the good loving daily
Now you trying to pose like I be acting shady? (Talk to me now, Blu)
[Verse 1: Blu Cantrell]
You say you love me, say you love me
But you're never there for me, yeah (Hmm-mm)
You be crying, slowly dying
When I decide to leave (Oh, oh)
[Pre-Chorus: Blu Cantrell]
All we do is make up (Make up), then break up (Break up)
Why don't we wake up and see?
When love hurts (Love hurts), it won't work (Won’t work)
Maybe we need some time alone
We need to let it breathe
Sean Paul and Blu Cantrell
