Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hey, you there

Can we take it to the next level, baby, do you dare?

Don't be scared

'Cause if you can say the words

I don't know why I should care

[Verse 2]

'Cause here I am

I'm giving all I can, but all you ever do is mess it up

Yeah, I'm right here

I'm tryna make it clear that getting half of you just ain't enough

[Verse 3]

I'm not gonna wait until you're done

Pretending you don't need anyone

I'm standing here naked (Naked, naked)

I'm standing here naked (Naked, naked)

I'm not gonna try till you decide

You're ready to swallow all your pride

I'm standing here naked (Naked, naked)

I'm standing here naked (Naked, naked)

[Verse 4]

Hey, get out

I've got nothing left to give, and you give me nothing now

Read my mouth

If you ever want me back, then your walls need breaking down

[Verse 5]

'Cause here I am

I'm giving all I can, but all you ever do is mess it up (All you ever do)

Yeah, I'm right here

I'm tryna make it clear, getting half of you just ain't enough

[Verse 6]

I'm not gonna wait until you're done

Pretending you don't need anyone

I'm standing here naked (Naked, naked)

I'm standing here naked (Naked, naked)

I'm not gonna try till you decide

You're ready to swallow all your pride

I'm standing here naked (Naked, naked)

I'm standing here naked (Naked, naked)

[Verse 7]

Oh, oh

I wanna give you everything

I wanna give you everything

Oh, yeah

I wanna give you everything

I wanna give you everything

Oh

[Verse 8]

I'm not gonna wait until you're gone

'Cause you pretend that you don't need anyone

[Verse 9]

Can't you see that I'm naked (Naked, naked)

I'm standing here naked (Naked, naked)

I'm not gonna try till you decide

You're ready to swallow all your pride

I'm standing here naked (Naked, naked)

I'm standing here naked

I'm standing here naked (Naked, naked)

I'm standing here naked, I'm standing here

I'm standing

I'm standing, yeah
