Window Shopping - Lyrics

(Chorus)
I was window shopping, window shopping
Never meant to buy
Just touch and try
You saw me, control me
I was window shopping, window shopping
Never meant to buy
Just touch and try

I thought I had my game up tight
But with you I couldn't play it right
I pretended to be ice cold
But inside my temperature rose, oh yeah

Hoo 11x
I tried and I tried but I can't resist

(Chorus)

To think that I once boasted around
No ones arms could ever tie me down
But you've changed my point of view
And now I’m trying to tie a knot onto you, oh baby

Hoo 11x
I was selling to the buyer until i met you

(Chorus)

You're priceless merchandise
Precious merchandise
You saw me, control me

(Chorus)
