Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I fucked up
I'm man enough to admit it
But I don't know if that makes a difference
And I know that
If you just gimme a chance to explain, I think
I miss your feeling
I need you
[Verse 2]
How you make it feel
Way you make me feel
Said it feels so good
I like it, I like it, baby
Girl, what you doing to me?
Girl, what you do to me?
Don't give him my love
You ain't even like that
What kind of point you tryna prove?
And yet you hate to admit it
But you still take me back
All that shit you was talkin'
It don't hold no weight 'cause
[Verse 3]
You always say I'm stuck in my ways (I had it coming)
You always say that I'll never change (In time I'll show you)
I ain't always wrong, I take the blame (Gotta count for something)
Man up and say I own my mistakes (Gotta count for something)
Girl, I need you now
Oh, baby, I need you
Oh, baby, I need you
Help me out
Don't let me down
[Verse 4]
Girl, what I do to you?
Girl, what I do to you?
Do to make it this cold?
Tryna get me where it hit home
You ain't even like that, I know
You ain't mean it, I know, yeah
[Verse 5]
New friends, you got new friends
They already know who he's hittin'
That I answer when the real one callin'
You know who it is when you see me callin'
Yeah, I know, I was wrong, but you know better
Give you up, I would never
[Verse 6]
You always say I'm stuck in my ways (I had it coming)
You always say that I'll never change (In time I'll show you)
I ain't always wrong, I take the blame (Gotta count for something)
Man up and say I own my mistakes (Gotta count for something)
Girl, I need you now
Oh, baby, I need you
[Verse 7]
Haven't always done you right, and I know it
Girl, I hope it ain't too late for me to show it
(Don't say goodbye)
Forgive me for what I put you through, let me love you better
All this time, you were right
[Verse 8]
You always say I'm stuck in my ways (I had it coming)
You always say that I'll never change (In time I'll show you)
I ain't always wrong, I take the blame (Gotta count for something)
Man up and say I own my mistakes (Gotta count for something)
Girl, I need you now
Oh, baby, I need you
Oh, baby, I need you
Help me out
Don't let me down
[Verse 9]
Everybody wants somebody that's got confidence
He should make me feel safe
Make me laugh
Everything about him should feel sexy
His walk, his talk
He's gotta be effortless, you know?
Not trying too hard
What do you want in someone?
