Just His Toy by Melodie Yvonne

I’m walkin’ around in a body of flesh so of course I’ll be tempted most times
Emotions run rampant and my heart lies so of course I keep falling love blind
But all of these days all I can say is I wish you were here by my side
And I rewind time every day in my mind just so I can look in your eyes

Lord please help me get over that boy that just smiled at me and took over my world
Lord please help me get over that boy ‘cause I wanna love him but I’m just his toy

I’m walkin’ around feelin’ a mess ever since I walked outta his life
I’m walkin’ around and feel in a trance ‘cause I can’t tell what’s real and what’s lies
But the one thing I know is the way that I feel every time that I look in his eyes
And it still breaks my heart to be this far apart and to leave without saying goodbye

Lord please help me get over that boy that just smiled at me and took over my world
Lord please help me get over that boy ‘cause I wanna love him but I’m just his toy

Oh Lord please help me get over that boy that just smiled at me and took over my world
Lord please help me get over this boy ‘cause I want him to love me but I’m just his toy
