[Chorus: 112]
I want you right here with me
If you really wanna be with me
Then come on, just stay with me
'Cause I really wanna get to know you
I want you right here with me
If you really wanna be with me
Then come on and stay with me
Come on and stay with me

[Verse 1: Q Parker]
Look at me, girl, I can't believe
This feeling is more than a crush on you
And I can tell by the way you smile
You feel the same, and we're both more than friends

[Pre-Chorus: 112 & Q Parker]
If you want it then baby tell me so
Why don't you tell me, baby?
Can't be afraid of love, gotta let it show
Why don't you let your feelings show
It'll be our little secret no one has to know
We can keep it on the down low, baby
We can take it fast, or do you like it nice and slow?
I need you by my side

[Chorus: 112]
I want you right here with me
If you really wanna be with me
Then come on, just stay with me
'Cause I really wanna get to know you
I want you right here with me
If you really wanna be with me
Then come on and stay with me
Come on and stay with me

[Verse 2: Daron]
Can you tell in my eyes
The happiness when you are in my heart
The joy you bring makes me wanna sing
I love you and you mean the world to me

[Pre-Chorus: 112 & Daron]
If you want it then baby tell me so
Why don't you tell me, baby?
Candle fade, of love gotta let it show
Why don't you let your feelings show?
It'll be our little secret no one has to know
We can keep it on the down low, baby
We can take it fast, or do you like it nice and slow?
I need you by my side

[Chorus: 112]
I want you right here with me
If you really wanna be with me
Then come on, just stay with me
'Cause I really wanna get to know you
I want you right here with me
If you really wanna be with me
Then come on and stay with me
Come on and stay with me

I want you right here with me
If you really wanna be with me
Then come on, just stay with me
'Cause I really wanna get to know you
I want you right here with me
If you really wanna be with me
Then come on and stay with me
Come on and stay with me

[Bridge: Daron]
It's not hard, girl, to tell that I'm
So in love with you, baby
And I know you feel what I feel 'cause when
We're together it feels so right
So stay with me

[Chorus: 112]
I want you right here with me
If you really wanna be with me
Then come on, just stay with me
'Cause I really wanna get to know you
I want you right here with me
If you really wanna be with me
Then come on and stay with me
Come on and stay with me

I want you right here with me
If you really wanna be with me
Then come on, just stay with me
'Cause I really wanna get to know you
I want you right here with me
If you really wanna be with me
Then come on and stay with me
Come on and stay with me

I want you right here with me
If you really wanna be with me
Then come on, just stay with me
'Cause I really wanna get to know you

112 is a Grammy-winning R&B quartet from Atlanta, Georgia, consisting of Marvin “Slim” Scandrick, Quinnes “Q” Parker, Daron Jones, and Michael Keith. They released their self-titled debut album on Bad Boy Entertainment in 1996, which featured the hits “Cupid” and “Only You” with The Notorious B.I.G. and the remix also featuring Ma$e. In 1997, they joined Puff Daddy and Faith Evans on “I’ll Be Missing You,” the tribute to The Notorious B.I.G. for which they won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. The single also topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 11 weeks.

They would release two more albums on Bad Boy—Room 112 (1998) featuring the hit single “Anywhere” and Part III (2001) featuring the hits “It’s Over Now,” “Peaches & Cream,” and “Dance With Me.” They joined Def Jam’s R&B imprint Def Soul for their fourth album Hot & Wet (2003)—a joint venture with Bad Boy—and Pleasure & Pain (2005). The group split to release solo projects before coming back to release Q, Mike, Slim, Daron in 2017.
