Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's an honest conversation
Yeah
[Verse 2]
She said I want a love that'll love me when my hair ain't did
And when the makeup comes off, yeah
She said I want a love that'll love me when the game is one
And his team just lost, yeah
[Verse 3]
She said I want a love that'll love me even when I ain't there
And I forget when he implores
I told her you deserve a love two hundred million times
Better than your pretty heart ever dreamed of
[Verse 4]
Love, self-control, honorable, responsible with your soul
Oh, you deserve, you deserve, baby, that's what you deserve
I understand integrity, loyalty to win
You deserve, you deserve, baby, that's what you deserve
[Verse 5]
You deserve, you deserve, that's what you deserve
You deserve, you deserve, that's what you deserve
You deserve, you deserve, baby, that's what you deserve
You deserve, you deserve, that's what you deserve
You deserve, you deserve, that's what you deserve
You deserve, you deserve, oh
[Verse 6]
She said I want a love that I know gon' tell me the truth
Even when it ain't pretty, uh
She said I want a love that'll want a real love
Willing to work to make this thing, work with me
[Verse 7]
So much he can trust, she don't wanna know where his phone is
She wanna know where home is, lay around with his shirt on
Tryna figure out what the cologne is
She wants a love that can move her every nerve
And that's just what she's worth, baby, that's what you deserve
[Verse 8]
Self-control, honorable, responsible with your soul
You deserve, you deserve, baby, that's what you deserve
I understand integrity, loyalty to win
You deserve, you deserve, baby, that's what you deserve
[Verse 9]
You deserve, you deserve, that's what you deserve
You deserve, you deserve, that's what you deserve
You deserve, you deserve, baby, that's what you deserve
You deserve, you deserve, that's what you deserve
You deserve, you deserve, that's what you deserve
You deserve, you deserve, oh, whoa
