  • Hey, hey
    Oh, oh, oh
    Fell in love

    So, presently I'm standing
    Here right now
    You're so demanding
    Tell me what you want from me

    Concluding
    Concentrating on my music, lover, and my babies
    Makes me wanna ask the lady for a ticket outta town
    So can I get a window seat? (Hey)

    Don't want nobody next to me
    I just want a ticket outta town
    A look around
    And a safe touch down

    Can I get a window seat? (Oh oh)
    Don't want nobody next to me
    I just want a chance to fly
    A chance to cry

    And a long bye bye (oh-oh, oh-oh)
    Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
    But I, I need you to want me
    I need you to miss me
    I, I need your attention, yes

    I need you next to me
    Oh I, I need someone to clap for me
    I need your direction
    Somebody say come back

    Come back, baby, come back
    I want you to need me
    Come back (hey), come back, baby (oh), come back (need me)
    Come back, come back, baby, come back (want you to)

    Come back, come back, baby, come back (need me)
    So, out my mind I'm tusslin'
    Back and forth 'tween here and hustlin'
    I don't wanna time travel no mo'

    I wanna be here
    I'm thinking
    See, on this porch I'm rockin'
    Back and forth light Lightning Hopkins

    If anybody speak to Scotty
    Tell him beam me up (beam me up)
    So can I get a window seat? (Hey)
    Don't want nobody next to me

    I just want a ticket outta town
    A look around
    And a safe touch down
    Can I get a window seat

    Don't want nobody next to me
    See, I just want a chance to fly
    A chance to cry
    And a long bye bye

    Oh-oh, oh
    Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh

    But I, I need you to miss me (need)
    I need somebody come get me (ooh)
    Ah, see, I need your attention, yes and
    Need your energy, yes, I do, oh

    I need someone to clap for me
    And I need your direction
    Somebody say come back
    Come back, baby, come back

    I want you to need me
    Come back, come back, baby, come back
    Come back, come back, baby, come back
    Come back, come back, baby, come back

    But can I get a window seat?
    Don't want nobody next to me
    I just want a ticket outta town
    A look around
    And a safe touch down

    Oh-oh, oh (hey)

    I just want a chance to fly
    A chance to cry
    And a long bye bye Writer/s: Erica Wright, James Jason Poyser
